#2Nice. I've been looking for something like this to self-host, to avoid my partner uploading sensitive documents to random PDF manipulation websites.
Any better alternatives I should be considering?

#3Can it add attachments to pdf files?. Until this year I did not even know that this was possible but a government agency asked me to add files as attachments to a pdf as their website only allowed uploading valid pdf files.

You can simply use poppler-utils on your on computer? It's a collection of commandline tools for PDF-manipulation. More information can be found here:

This tools is not open source, but it’s free. Files should remain on local pc. Developers claim that they make money only by advertisement on their website.

If you happen to be on macOS, the Preview app does an absurd number of things to PDFs, and it does it well. To be honest I'm always surprised it isn't highlighted more by Apple, it's a great tool that pretty much always just works. You can split files, join them, rotate, add signatures, drawings, annotations, redact sections, etc. The feature list is long, especially considering that by the name of the application you'd think it could just preview files, not edit them.

#10I have not looked into this yet but can someone recommend an application for repairing pdfs? For example, I have PDFs where selecting text highlights a line above or below.
