Title mostly says it all. Preview is unironically an incredible piece of software. Between feature set and ease of use, I have yet to come across any FOSS that is comparable. Anyone know of a Linux alternative?

EDIT: Due to popular demand I should explain Preview more. It’s a “fully fledged” PDF editor, but somehow it’s completely different from something like Adobe Acrobat. The way most users will interact with it is as a seemingly very plain image viewer, but if you open a PDF you can add fillable boxes, rearrange pages, split and merge PDFs, etc. I cannot place exactly why it’s workflows feel so much better than something like Acrobat.

      Yeah it’s very nice. Also discovered this a few months back. Layout of the website is a bit weird at times on low resolutions, but otherwise it’s great.

        I host many other things on that hardware. But it’s a small 1 litre pc. Sterling pdf is eating the least from there. I tried but I cant stop listing what i have. It is a 6 core gen 10 i5 w 32 gb RAM. Proxmox as hypervisor running two Debian VMs. I think I run 30+ services on it but again sterlingPDF is least of my concerns there. If you don’t have the hardware I genuinely believe you can run it locally without any issues or you can run it on a potato
