A couple of weeks ago I needed to do some very simple PDF "editing": I had 2 PDFs (A and B) and I needed to get some pages 2 (of 5) from PDF-A and 2 (of 5) pages of PDF-B into a single PDF. I tried to do that on Linux Mint and it was a nightmare: Download PDFSam, create PDF from PDF-A with 2 pages, create PDF from PDF-B with 2 pages and then merge those 2 PDFs.
The way I achieve that in my Mac is by opening both file in preview, select and drag the pages I want from PDF-A to PDF-B and then select and delete the pages I don't want from PDF-B.
Why do these simple things have to be so cumbersome in Linux in 2021?
