To be fair, PDFs suck and the only software that handles them well is paid and proprietary

PDF gear is free (for now) and excellent

Proprietary :-/ but might still be interesting nevertheless

Thanks for sharing

Libreoffice is pretty decent with PDFs imo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 25 minutes ago

Unfortunately in LibreOffice all the pages in a PDF need to render with the same orientation and size :/ It adds whitespace to pages to make them all the same size, and this whitespace remains even when exporting as PDF.

There's been a formal request made to change that, but it's been years with no movement.

From my experience, not very much, at least for editing PDFs without fucking up the fonts

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I guess

Do Adobe PDF things handle all Google fonts?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know. I just know that Acrobat works well, while Libreoffice barely works when editing (and in general the software was buggy)

Yeah, I've only used it a little bit so I don't really know
