Whats a recommended program for manipulating PDFs that isn't adobe? I have to scan in a huge stack of papers double sided and each set of sides is going to come out as one PDF (there is nothing I can do about this) so I need to be able to take the two PDFs and interleave them

@zero okay good I'll take a look at this. Man everything in the PDF space is a throwback to 90s style "please download our mysterious Chinese blob and pay for pro if you want to haha"

I fucking hate pdf format if I am being honest, it's not built for easy editing which is why you get shit like adobe acrobat trying to get you to pay them for their crappy product

Also fuck anyone who makes you fill out a pdf form, making you download random programs in order to edit their shitty editable text boxes

@kroner I didn't know libre office could deal in PDFs. I'll take a look at least

From what I saw it imports pdfs into odf format and then you can re-export the result into a new pdf

it's rather basic. I used it to add text to pdfs I got.

@mischievoustomato @kroner what I need to do is extremely basic so hoping it's enough

gud luck. i also know imagemagick can into pdfs (I've used it for converting pdfs into images

RustyCrab,
@RustyCrab@clubcyberia.co avatar

@mischievoustomato @kroner yeah but outside of super basic stuff, imagemagik is phenomenally hard to use. It's probably the only "language" worse than windows batch

@RustyCrab @mischievoustomato @kroner it has all the joys of using an Amiga without any of the quality or charm in the results.

and the fun doesn't stop there...
