Thanks! BentoPDF is fantastic, I never knew something like this existed.
I have a todo list where I keep track of services I might be interested in one day, I read your post a few hours ago and added Bento to my list, thinking I might get around to it in a few days/weeks/months. Then out of nowhere 15 minutes ago I randomly needed to crop and split a PDF and realized I didn't have anything to do it. I fired Bento up and was done in under a minute.
You might be interested in StirlingPDF too.
Yeah I use StirlingPDF extensively.
I might give Bento a try but ultimately not much incentive to change.
You will love omnitools
EDIT: And vert
I know that cause I'm using framasoft instances:
https://omnitools.framatoolbox.org/
https://vert.framatoolbox.org/
(From framatoolbox)
Wow, this is very useful!!
Between omnitools and vert, which one do you recommend? I think the former has more features, but there must be a reason why you recommended vert as well.
EDIT: On closer inspection, it looks like omnitools has multiple tools (including conversion), and vert focuses on conversion. I focused way too much on the conversion features that the other tools went over my head.
Vert is amazing, thanks!
Is it better than StirlingPDF?
