I have to add some Info to that - but first - thanks for your video! Love your structure and quality. Now the point: I as a designer (graphical and motion design) - have to tell you that libreDraw ist not a PDF-editor. Its a graphical tool that has the ability to read some aspects of PDF-Files. But it will never be able to read the full info in a PDF - wich can be crusial for what you want to do. Its basically a nice (like the name suggests) tool for drawing vectorial graphics, but will always have its problems to read the info of (for example) PFD-x4, PDF-x3, PDF-xa ect.. This is because PDFs save the graphical info differently and draw does not have a real "destiller" that decodes masks, font, transparencys ect. Just wanted to add this constructivelly since I am seeing draw used so many times for that job - but it actually never was intended to do that (why its doing it rather.. mediocre). to add another nice point: okular is the viewer of my choice. so much that i am even using it on my windows machine - because it is super fast - when more options for editing are added - this might be the adobe killer in that field :)

Keep in mind that tools to merge, split, extract, concatenate and collate PDFs are pretty much front-ends of qpdf or pdftk, so if you'd rather work in the terminal, those are often better options. As for conversion, pandoc is great even though for complex documents, LaTeX is a necessary evil.

I ended up having sejda as a way to add a signature (not digital signing) my actual signature to PDFs. Generally I just need okular. Okular can sort of do signatures as a stamp but it's a bit clunky. Sejda has paid features as well though. I really wish that okular would add some extra features for PDFs like sejda's signature feature, splitting, combining, etc. It would make it so good.

I just had to find one yesterday. I wonder if you noticed one of the top results when searching for Linux pdf editor. "PDFs have never really been for editing. They're designed for making a finished document portable to essentially anywhere."" Yada Yada Yada, the guy goes on for several paragraps and replies arguing about how you should never edit a pdf. God, I sure love the Linux community. pdfsam seems to require the paid version to edit, from what their website says. The only porgram I could find that would do I I needed (import image to sign document with) was the old pdfmaster. I kept hearing that Draw often screws up the formatting.

I installed Garuda "Talon" just a couple weeks ago and it comes with qpdfview by default. Personally I was used to PDF Shuffler back on Ubuntu. And maybe that's just me but Draw tends to destroy the layouts of all PDFs to the point it's just not my go-to app.

Arch isn’t officially supported by NORD (I contacted them), and so I have to use openvpn as a work around. The problem is my dns is leaking when using the nordvpn application, it doesn’t tunnel “everything”, ...if I use openvpn it’s fine, but I’m still researching the main differences (security wise) in using openvpn (with my Nord account) and NORD natively.

it has huge drawback with zoom limitation on hi-res files. Then zathura comes in. But again zathura is featureless such as annotations and navigation in huge numbered page files. Where is pdf reader that is convenient, functional, and foss ? Perhaps will never be created. Okular seams a good option, but again installation will cause a lot of useless bloatware.

Sioyek looks great. Unfortunately, it is really slow (in part due to its large number of features). In fact, all of the above-mentioned PDF viewers are slow with large PDFs (2000+ pages), in some cases, having rendering issues. mupdf is the rendering engine used by all of them (at least, as a compilation option), but for some reason, mupdf is extremely fast and renders flawlessly, so I don't know why there is a difference in performance. The main drawback with mupdf is that it doesn't have vim-like keyboard shortcuts although technically, it can be changed easily by modifying its source code.

@@kevinklement2621 mupdf-gl (or mupdf-x11) implements many features for a minimal PDF viewer (markers, bookmarks, annotations, tinted color mode, blazing fast search, rotation). There are certainly glaringly missing features, such as dual mode (or for that matter, SyncTex) but this not the viewer-only version. Maybe not routinely, but I often read textbooks (medicine) and reference manuals (programming) that are quite large. I used to use zathura, but I found it it not as smooth as one would have hoped given its suckless ethos.
