Any recommendation for basic PDF tools? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I'm not looking for a full PDF editor. Only to do tasks like merging and splitting PDFs, removing pages, or creating a PDF from a bunch of images.

https://www.ilovepdf.com is very handy, but I don't like the idea of uploading my documents to them, especially if they have sensitive data.

If you like web tools maybe https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF could be something for you.

Come here to recommend it, also. You can selfhost it in low-power device, I have mine running in a pi4.

I have tried to install it on my pi4 as well but it craps out when doing simple stuff... Maybe it's because I have out it behind nginx as a reverse proxy... I'll try again when I have time, because it works very well (when it works).

I have also behind nginx, as folder not subdomain, and works quite good. Some config issue, could be?

Likely this, yes. I'll have to dig into it. Thanks!
