    I’m using pdftk to add/remove pages, which works perfectly. Also does stuff like rotate some pages, ect. Easily scriptable, so stapling together all the PDFs in a dictionary is super easy.

    For actual editing (removing text, adding complex things), I just use Inkscape. How well that works depends on the PDF itself.

    And just highlighting text is something every single PDF viewer can do nowadays.



  • because reddit could never get their search engine working no matter how many times they tried it

    In their defense, writing a good search engine is very hard, even if you own all the data yourself.

    There’s a good reason why the litte search bar on reddit, on every forum ever created and on every corporate website is basically useless.

    It’s also why, among other minor technological challenges (like caching and indexing the entire fediverse), there is no search engine for Lemmy. Nor will there likely ever be one. Which is actually a pitty, because finding valuable information in a comment stashed on some minor instance will be nearly impossible - even for google.
