Dear Lemmings,

I deal with several PDF files on a daily basis. I’m still struggling to find a nice FOSS app to edit PDFs on my phone.

My common needs are :

  • OCR the content
  • merge pages
  • delete pages
  • reorder pages

A bonus would be:

  • edit content
  • fill form, print / send to email

Do you know one which is able to do this?

Many thanks

      Thanks that’s a super great idea!

      EDIT: Fired it up and it works brilliantly on a mobile, I’m impressed! I wish I had that idea before, thanks mate!

      Thank you for this. I do have a homelab with various tools, and I sometimes need to convert and adjust PDF files, and I was using all kinds of shady websites. Not anymore :)

      Now, if it only had a translate option too…

      Second this, brilliant suite. The solution was so obvious.

      Tbh you could strip out all the used tools and add a mobile/desktop interface too. Kotlin for example.

      Just someone has to do it.

      Can you elaborate on “fire this up in docker somewhere”?
