A reddit post in r/fednews. Trump Took Away Adobe Acrobat and it took Me 45min to Combine Files Fed only Not that this matters but for anyone who thinks this is creating efficiency, Trump/Elmo took away my agencies Adobe acrobate away which means I can't edit documents. So instead of being efficient and taking 5seconds to combine a pdf, I took 45min along with IT to combine files. That's how I spend my time these days, trying to overcome the obstacles they put in place so I can do my job. For all this talk about government employees not doing work, I'm working double time just to keep up with what they are doing.

Libreoffice draw can edit PDFs, and is polished the same as all the rest of the Libreoffice suite. It works pretty well in my experience.

Sometimes I don't like using a CLI program, especially for something so visual like PDFs. If I don't need to make any edits to a PDF and am only arranging it, I like to use a program called PDFarranger.

If I wanted a gui, I'd first check to see if there is an xpdfcat command.

Nobody knows it exists, apparently.

(And even worse, people are too computer-illiterate to think "hey, maybe there's a solution for my problem" and figure out how to go find it.)
