  • IMHO it’s the best PDF editor out there, idk why Adobe is considered the standard PDF software when it’s so terrible compared to PDF XChange. XChange editor has every possible tool I ever needed, you can move around objects, change text, move and rotate and crop pages etc. It’s just so good. You can’t even edit text in adobe acrobat properly because it will break the text layout, in XChange you can if you’re careful with fonts, spacing, indents etc.

    It’s miles ahead of adobe acrobat and works in Linux as well, I know it’s proprietary and pursists will hate me but it’s my go to tool when I need to do anything serious with PDF in both windows and linux.















  • I’m not the OP, but tbh the only thing that doesn’t work for me is the apps that replace your input by the same thing in another layout.

    For example, you have 2 keyboard layouts, type something and realize afterwards that you forgot to change the keyboard layout. You press the hotkey to trigger a script that removes your input, translates it into a different keyboard layout and pastes it back.

    People who only use 1 keyboard layout don’t even think about this issue and usually don’t know such software exists.

    I miss it a lot. There’s 1 script that works in wayland but it’s pretty buggy and it’s not in arch repos, so I don’t trust it too much. X11 had many options.
