This article will explain in detail how linux uses PDF Mix Tool to perform common PDF editing tasks. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

PDF Mix Tool is a simple, lightweight open source PDF editing application that allows you to extract pages from PDF, merge two PDF, delete pages from PDF, and so on.

PDF Mix Tool: a simple open source PDF editing tool

There are several PDF editors that can be used in Linux, and I usually divide them into two categories:

A PDF editor that allows you to edit content (comments, highlights, change text, add / remove images, etc.)

A PDF editor that allows you to modify files by merging, splitting, extracting pages, and so on.

PDF Mix Tool belongs to the second category. It is open source software written in C++ and Qt5. It allows you to merge two or more PDF files and specify pages for each file, as well as rotate pages, add blank pages, delete pages, and extract pages from PDF files.

In this week's highlight of open source software, let's take a look at using PDF Mix Tool.

Use PDF Mix Tool to edit PDF in Linux

PDF Mix Tool doesn't have many features, but it does have some very important features.

Merge PDF files

You can easily merge multiple PDF files while specifying the exact page. It allows you to adjust the number of pages, rotate, and use "alternating mixed Alternate mix" to reverse page order merging.

All you have to do is click "add PDF file Add PDF File" to add the file, then edit it with the available options (as shown in the figure above), and finally generate the edited PDF.

Rotate the page

You can rotate the page of an PDF file when merging multiple files or manipulating only a single PDF file.

For merged files, you can refer to the screenshot above. But when you select a file, it looks like this:

You have many options, but to rotate the page, you need to select the "Edit Page layout Edit page layout" option, as shown in the screenshot above.

Add or remove pages

To add new pages from other PDF files, it is best to take advantage of this option.

However, if you want to add a blank page, you can select a file to add. Not only do you add blank pages, you can also delete specific pages. The following screenshot circles the highlighting options:

Extract pages from PDF files

In addition to all other options, you can extract specific pages (or all) from a given PDF file. You can also generate a new PDF file for all extracted pages, or create a separate PDF file for each extracted page. In many scenarios, it should come in handy.

Other featur

With all the above features, you can generate a new PDF of your choice, reverse the order, extract pages, create separate PDF files, and so on.

It does not reduce the size of the PDF file. You must use other tools to compress the PDF file in Linux.

Therefore, it is a feature-rich tool when you combine the available options.

Install PDF Mix Tool on Linux

PDF Mix Tool exists in snap and Flatpak packages. This means that if the distribution supports either of these, you can find it in the Software Manager.

Or, if you snap-linux/ "class=" ext "rel=" external nofollow "target=" _ blank "> with snap package support enabled, you can install it using the following command:

Sudo snap install pdfmixtool

If you want to use Flatpak, use:

Flatpak install flathub eu.scarpetta.PDFMixTool

If you are using Arch Linux, you can get it from the community repository.
