Acrobat linux6/17/2023 ![]() Okular does have some some limitations (and quirks). ![]() good for most simple edits / annotations. You may like to consider two or even three possible choices as no single application may contain ALL the capabilities you are looking for.ġ) Okular. But if you like traditional GUIs, okular and qpdfview probably have the best ones. I like command line stuff I can script: that's what counts as good UI to me. Good UI is too much a matter of personal preference. Page organization => If you want a gui, you could use pdfshuffler or pdfsam, though I usually use command like tools like qpdf (or pdftk, stapler, pdfjam, or even ghostscript).įorm management => Okular for filling them for creating them, then pdflatex with hyperref (maybe a steep learning curve if you don't already use LaTeX, but I do anyway). I don't know about Excel, but I can't imagine that would ever be a reliable process, even with Acrobat. ![]() I gather LibreOffice has gotten much better at importing PDFs in recent years as well. I try not to convert to Word that's going against the grain, but the few times I've had, I've use calibre's ebook-convert. Sign: => If you mean add what looks like a graphical signature, then xournalpp, but if you mean a "digital signature", that's something that is still not well supported on Linux okular can do it, but getting the necessary certificate is a pain.Įxport to PNG, JPEG, Word, Excel => For the first two you could use gimp, though I usually use pdftoppm and/or imagemagick convert from the command line. PDFs aren't really made to be edited, though that's not what they're for. View: => My favorites for this are Sioyek and llpp I like simple and lightweight, but there are lots of options.Įdit: => Inkscape for anything significant xournalpp for simpler stuff. It's been a decade since I used it, but I remember Acrobat being virtually unusably slow because it tries to do too much. You're using a unix-like operating system now get used to using different tools for different tasks.
