> descent epub reader I found Sumatra PDF to be great, at least at rendering / reading comfort.

  Ugly as hell, can't make light edit like remove or add page, compress pdf. It's all free in macos preview app and it just works. No one want to spend 30 minutes looking for website that allow to compress pdf because it's a slightly too big to be sent through email...

    The Books app is even better! But a programmer it's just as quick to run shrinkpdf in a Linux terminal, and, well, more ascetic. I do think Sumatra PDF is good for Windows software, it's not bloated and it's fast.

And even then, good luck rotating page 4 of by 270° using terminal, then inverting it with page 5 and filling the form. Things that would take 5 seconds on preview.

        true, until someone hooks up Linux to an LLM and being CLI driven it would have no problems doing this & more (Also, I think PDF viewers can do that well in Linux too, I only use a minimal viewer so I don't know)

          > until someone hooks up Linux to an LLM and being CLI driven it would have no problems doing this I appreciate your enthusiasm but man you're over complicating stuff. Beside LLM hallucinations, you would have to type to the computer everything you want to do. I can rotate page with one click, move them to another part is doe with a single mouse drag.
