PDF Samurai

PDF Samurai

PDF Samurai is a free desktop application used to manipulate pages within PDF files. It is is written in Python using tkinter.

I have currently only be tested PDF Samurai on Windows 10.

I made PDF Samurai to address two main problems:

1. lack of a free desktop application for manipulating PDF files
2. privacy concerns with uploading PDF files containing sensitive information to online applications

Any feedback and/or suggestions are most welcome, including whether or not the application runs on other operating systems.

Download

1. download the ZIP file
2. extract the ZIP file
3. run the application by double clicking on the file named 'pdf_samurai.exe'
4. select an operation 
5. provide the specified inputs (hover the mouse over the input button/title for more information)

Operations

• merge: add one PDF file to end of a second PDF file
• remove: remove specified pages from a PDF file
• insert: insert one PDF file into a second PDF file after a given page number
• split: split a PDF file into separate pages and/or page ranges, where each given page/page range is saved as a new PDF

Notes

• all operations output a new PDF file/s, which is saved to the selected directory
• the file name of the output PDF file/s generated from the selected operation defaults to the time and date that the operation was executed (it must be manually renamed)

Future Plans

• design a logo
• add more operations e.g. save a given page as an image
