I'd love it if this could be integrated into Paperless. Every now and then one of my scanned documents goes in upside down and I need to rescan. Clicking rotate, maybe reordering and letting it be rescanned would be great.
The latest version of paperless-ngx can rotate documents. Check it out!

#52I host this at home. I don't use it myself, I can use the linux CLI tools that its based on. But I prefer my wife to use this to convert/split/etc. her pdf files this way instead of using some random website or app (that uses the same cli tool anyway). She doesn't mind either way. Seems to work well enough for her use cases.

#54Anyone got an alternative that wasn't developed entirely in ChatGPT?

The claim, or the software? If the software was developed by ChatGPT it probably sucks. If it wasn't developed by ChatGPT, its author is a liar. So either way, fuck it.
Who cares if it was developed by ChatGPT if it actually works? Why not try it out first before crapping on someone's hard Open Source work?
In this case I think the actual PDF bits are command line tools written by humans though, and just the web wrapping (some small initial piece of it) is originally from ChatGPT.

You should just get a perpetual license to a PDF tool for $70. Best money ever spent. And get a portable exe version too.

They seem to have a working solution that they, and their wife, is happy with. Why should they spend money on a different solution?
Suggestion is to use a free Pdf xchange editor by tracker software. And print the document to pdf when done.

Because it is two birds with one stone? Because it is one less system to maintain? Because it is superior to a web based UI with mutliple tools under different headers? because it is simple for even the least technical?
