    Someone asked me yesterday what products besides Adobe’s there were for his elderly cousin to merge PDFs, or extract pages. I proposed a few options, so I’m technically helping to lose money for Adobe. I’m doing my part 😁

      Linux comes (at least on Mint and Ubuntu) with the poppler-utils suite of tools. you can merge, extract pages, even rip all the images out of a pdf in source quality. very useful.

        Yeah you get a lot of options on Linux. I used pdftk last time.

        Unfortunately the parameters here were, “elderly dude” “needs GUI” and “on Windows” :-(
