The zathura-djvu plugin adds DjVu support to zathura using the DjVuLibre library.

pydyf is a low-level PDF generator written in Python and based on PDF specification 1.7.

Zathura is a customizable document viewer. It provides a minimalistic interface and an interface that mainly focuses on keyboard interaction.

PDFmarks is a technique that accompanies PDF, and that is used to store metadata such as author or title, but also structural information such as bookmarks or hyperlinks.

When Ghostscript reads the main PDF generated by the TeX system with embedded PDF files and outputs the final PDF, the PDF page mode and name targets etc. are not preserved. Therefore, when you open the final PDF, it is not displayed correctly. Also, remote PDF links do not work correctly.

This program is able to extract the page mode and named targets as PDFmark from PDF. In this way, you can obtain embedded PDF files that have kept this information.

This package provides optional encoding files for Poppler. When present, Poppler is able to correctly render CJK and Cyrillic text.

The cpdf package provides a command-line tool and an OCaml library designed for manipulating PDF documents. Key Features include:

• Splitting and merging PDF files (including bookmark preservation and splitting on bookmarks).

• Encryption and decryption (supports AES 128 and AES 256).

• Page manipulation: scaling, rotation, cropping, and flipping; fitting pages to a specific size.

• Bookmark management: copying, removing, and adding bookmarks.

• Watermarking: stamping logos, page numbers, and multi-line text with transparency support.

• Text and font handling: embedding TrueType fonts, supporting Unicode UTF-8 input and output, and converting text to PDF.

• Presentation features: creating PDF-based presentations and arranging multiple pages on a single page.

• Annotation management: listing, copying, setting, and removing annotations.

• Metadata management: reading and setting document information and metadata.

• Attachment handling: adding and removing file attachments to documents or pages.

• Advanced features: thickening hairlines, blackening text, reconstructing malformed files, detecting missing fonts and low-resolution images, exporting/importing in JSON format, and building table of contents.

• Drawing: Adding graphics and text directly onto PDF files.

QPDF is a command-line program that does structural, content-preserving transformations on PDF files. It could have been called something like pdf-to-pdf. It includes support for merging and splitting PDFs and to manipulate the list of pages in a PDF file. It is not a PDF viewer or a program capable of converting PDF into other formats.

MuPDF is a C library that implements a PDF and XPS parsing and rendering engine. It is used primarily to render pages into bitmaps, but also provides support for other operations such as searching and listing the table of contents and hyperlinks.

The library ships with a rudimentary X11 viewer, and a set of command line tools for batch rendering pdfdraw, rewriting files pdfclean, and examining the file structure pdfshow.

img2pdf converts images to PDF via direct JPEG inclusion. That conversion is lossless: the image embedded in the PDF has the exact same color information for every pixel as the input.

diffpdf lets you compare PDF files, offering three comparison modes: words, characters, and appearance.

qpdfview is a document viewer for PDF, PS and DJVU files. It uses the Qt toolkit and features persistent per-file settings, configurable toolbars and shortcuts, continuous and multi‐page layouts, SyncTeX support, and rudimentary support for annotations and forms.

Stapler is a pure Python alternative to PDFtk, a tool for manipulating PDF documents from the command line. It supports

• cherry-picking pages and concatenating them into a new file

• splitting a PDF document into single pages each in its own file

• merging PDF documents with their pages interleaved

• displaying metadata in a PDF document

• displaying the mapping between logical and physical page numbers

The zathura-cb plugin adds comic book support to zathura using libarchive.

Impressive is a tool to display PDF files that provides visual effects such as smooth alpha-blended slide transitions. It provides additional tools such as zooming, highlighting an area of the screen, and a tool to navigate the PDF pages.

PDF Arranger is a small application which allows one to merge or split PDF documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an interactive and intuitive graphical interface.

PDF Arranger was formerly known as PDF-Shuffler.

This package provides Python bindings for the Qt5 interface of the Poppler PDF rendering library.

Sioyek is a PDF viewer with a focus on textbooks and research papers.

flyer-composer can be used to prepare one- or two-sided flyers for printing on one sheet of paper.

Imagine you have designed a flyer in A6 format and want to print it using your A4 printer. Of course, you want to print four flyers on each sheet. This is where Flyer Composer steps in, creating a PDF which holds your flyer four times. If you have a second page, Flyer Composer can arrange it the same way - even if the second page is in a separate PDF file.

This package contains only the command line tool. If you like to use the gui, please install the flyer-composer-gui package.
