Best open source alternative to iLovePDF?
Hello fellow Redditors,
I'm looking for an open-source application that can perform PDF operations similar to iLovePDF. Specifically, I need an application that can split a multi-page PDF into multiple single-page PDFs.
Currently, I've been trying LibreOffice Draw, but I'm not sure if it's the best solution. From what I know, I need to export each page manually, which is quite time-consuming.
Alternatives?
Can anyone recommend any open-source alternatives that can perform the following actions:
- Split a multi-page PDF into single-page PDFs
- Be self-hosted (for privacy reasons)
- Ideally be an offline desktop application
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
