About PDF Arranger
pdfarranger is a small python-gtk application, which helps the user to merge or split pdf documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an interactive and intuitive graphical interface. It is a frontend for pikepdf. It was originally a fork of Konstantinos Pouliakas's PDF-Shuffler, designed to make the software more functional and modern. As a desktop application that runs locally on the user's machine, it does not transmit PDF data to external servers, making it a privacy-conscious choice for sensitive document handling. The project is entirely open-source and maintained by a community of developers on GitHub.
