Briss VS QPDF

Is there a very simple software JUST for cropping long PDFs files with precision, using a merged view of all the pages in a single PDF file (rather than cropping every page one by one)? I've been using bris https://sourceforge.net/projects/briss/ regularly since at least 2015, but the latest release 0.9 was in 2012 so god knows how long it's gonna take before it stops working. Also it's not a native MacOS app,... Source: about 1 year ago

I use this for crop PDF https://sourceforge.net/projects/briss/ . Calibre https://calibre-ebook.com/ for convert other formats to PDF, setting default PDF output with custom size 210x280. You can try Literata, Bookly or PT Mono for code; this make text much easier to read. Source: about 1 year ago

I have prepared an uncropped and a cropped pdf for convenience [1]. If you don't trust it, you can also create your own cropped pdf with briss which you can get for free here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/briss/. Source: over 1 year ago

In case they do, there is briss, a PDF editing tool that's very good at cropping PDFs with many pages. It creates an overlay of all pages (or left pages and right pages) and you can drag a box that covers the content of all pages so the setting for one page doesn't cut off parts of the next. It can also separate multiple pages from the same page. Source: over 1 year ago

Qpdf[1], and, in particular, libqpdf, is the most useful PDF tool I've ever used, because it was the first library I found that works at the proper level of abstraction for dealing with the PDF file format on its own terms. In other words, the library directly exposes the essential PDF object structure (pages, dictionaries, strings, numbers, streams, etc.) for easy editing, while abstracting away as much of... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

Given how well Preview.app and Safari work for viewing >99% of PDFs I actually encounter in the wild, this article makes Apple's engineering decisions look good. It also confirms many suspicions I've had over the years that have led me to, e.g., running all PDFs from questionable sources through VirusTotal before viewing on platforms where I wouldn't normally run antivirus software. The original article also... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

I know you're talking about GUI editing, but I've found libqpdf[1] incredibly useful for making programmatic PDF edits with minimal (typically no) structural disturbance. [1] https://qpdf.sourceforge.io. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

Exiftool edits to PDFs are reversible. The file needs to be re-linearized by a utility such as qpdf. See the exiftool PDF tags page and exifcleaner issue #111. Source: over 1 year ago

Page organization => If you want a gui, you could use pdfshuffler or pdfsam, though I usually use command like tools like qpdf (or pdftk, stapler, pdfjam, or even ghostscript). Source: almost 2 years ago
