• I can't find any good PDF editor. Is there an Android or Linux app, or maybe PWA that is capable of inserting images in a PDF, allowing writing with pen and keyboard (and I want that text to be searchable so OCRd)?

  Master PDF for Linux, you can try it for free, it will insert a watermark on saved documents. Source: over 1 year ago

• Hiccups after Changing to Mint

  Foxit: If only doing comments and basic stuff, use Foxit Reader. They have a linux version, been using it for years, it's pretty good. If you want full features to edit anything about a PDF, sadly foxit doesn't do it. MasterPDF is probably your best bet. https://code-industry.net/masterpdfeditor/. Source: over 1 year ago

• pdfviewer with tabs and save session

  Have you tried Master PDF? It's on Flathub too. If you need the editing features, use masterpdf4 (also on AUR). I usually install masterpdf5 via Flathub for convenience if I don't need to do major edits, and use masterpdf4 for major edits only (installing masterpdf5 on Flathub meant the two versions doesn't interfere with each other's settings).

• PDF form tools for Linux (Acroform or XFA)

  Try PDF Master Editor (free for non commercial use). Currently my personal choice when it comes to complex PDF editing. The price and the licensing terms are VERY attractive. Source: over 2 years ago

• Question from a noob - best pdf tool?

  If you need to be able to fully edit multiple page pdf document(move/remove existing images inside the page, edit existing text etc.) and do it more convenient way than Inkscape+Pdf arranger method, I can only recommend a proprietary(a.k.a. nonfree) tool called Master Pdf Editor.

• Suggestions: A simple human-readable format for suggesting changes to text files

  Even simpler: Step 1: give me your edited `.tex` file. Step 2: I selectively merge it into mine. Step 3: There is no step 3. To selectively merge, I use `meld` https://meldmerge.org/ but there are others. Benefits of this even simpler approach: - We continue to use the tools we are used to. - We and our software don't have to learn a new inline diff format. - Both files retain valid syntax before and during the... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: How do you merge two files with ChatGPT(etc.)?

  Why do you need ChatGPT? There are hundreds of diffing tools available that do this quite well. Meld is my favorite: https://meldmerge.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
