About PDF Mix Tool

PDF Mix Tool handles common page-level PDF edits. It can merge files using a chosen page set from each, rotate pages, and place several pages on one sheet (N-up). It can also alternate pages from two files, generate booklets, add blank pages, delete or extract pages, and edit document information.

It is written in C++ and depends only on Qt and qpdf. You can install it from several distributions' repositories or from Flathub. It is licensed under the GPLv3.

Strengths

  • Merge, split, rotate, N-up and booklet creation in one app
  • Few dependencies (Qt and qpdf)
  • Packaged in distribution repositories and on Flathub

Limitations

  • Page-level operations only, no content editing
  • Linux focused
