Dear Lemmings,

I deal with several PDF files on a daily basis. I’m still struggling to find a nice FOSS app to edit PDFs on my phone.

My common needs are :

  • OCR the content
  • merge pages
  • delete pages
  • reorder pages

A bonus would be:

  • edit content
  • fill form, print / send to email

Do you know one which is able to do this?

Many thanks

Fire this up in Docker somewhere and use your phone browser. Could probably even use Termux on your Android, have never tested that.

Thanks that’s a super great idea!

EDIT: Fired it up and it works brilliantly on a mobile, I’m impressed! I wish I had that idea before, thanks mate!

Second this, brilliant suite. The solution was so obvious.

Tbh you could strip out all the used tools and add a mobile/desktop interface too. Kotlin for example.

Just someone has to do it.

What do you mean that docker can run in Termux. I had no idea…

Thank you for this. I do have a homelab with various tools, and I sometimes need to convert and adjust PDF files, and I was using all kinds of shady websites. Not anymore :)

Now, if it only had a translate option too…

Can you elaborate on “fire this up in docker somewhere”?

Have a look there and if you’re not familiar with Docker I’d suggest to start with this first.
