Boycott US

Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Join 50501.chat to fight back!

Is there an alternative to Adobe for PDFs? I know Microsoft prints to PDF, but I need to be able to combine pdfs or rotate documents when I've scanned them upside down.

Been using Sterling PDF for times when I need to edit a PDF https://docs.stirlingpdf.com/Installation/Windows%20Installation

For just viewing or similar edits like rotating I use Okular, it works fine https://okular.kde.org/download/

I use "PDF Studio" (https://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/) and it's great, no problems at all.

Sadly I have to keep one Windows machine with Acrobat installed because the tax authorities here use hideous Cthulhu-like many-tentacled "Dynamic Forms" documents that automatically transform into XML (ugh) and only work in Adobe/Windows. But other than tax returns, I only use PDF Studio.

If you are a LaTeX user, you can actually do this with LaTeX pdfpackages.

I like Okular but I don't do nearly as much PDF based tasks as some.

[–] YeahToast@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago

I've started using https://bentopdf.com/ seems to have all of those features

You could use ilovepdf ? It's available as a web app for free without an account

Need something more local. Don't want to accidentally waive attorney-client privilege by using an online utility.

You could try PDFsam Basic. As the name suggests it provides some basic functions, especially the ones you described. Sam stands for split and merge.

Did you try it? Did it meet your requirements?

[–] YeahToast@aussie.zone 3 points 6 months ago

Might be worth giving https://bentopdf.com/ a try. I've just started using it . Seems ok. You can spin up your own locally (I haven't done this yet) or I believe you can also edit PDFs locally in a browser.

I love ilovepdf. I use it a lot.

PDF Arranger is very basic and simple, but it does rotating, cropping, combining etc. And it's open source.

[–] definitemaybe@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

LibreOffice Draw works a treat for some tasks, but it basically converts the file into their format, and the app works like Microsoft Publisher. Then you export back to PDF at the end, if needed.
