• PDF merging. Combines multiple PDF files into a single document. Files can be imported through menus or by drag and drop, allowing you to rearrange the pages before saving.
• PDF splitting. Extracts selected pages from a document to create new, independent PDF files. Useful for separating specific sections of long documents.
• Page reordering. Changes the page order by dragging and dropping. Supports multiple selection to move groups of pages simultaneously.
• Page rotation. Rotates individual pages or multiple selections in 90-degree increments. Changes are applied permanently when the document is saved.
• Page cropping. Removes unwanted areas from pages by adjusting the margins. The crop can be applied to specific pages or to the entire document.
• Page deletion. Permanently removes selected pages from the document. Supports deleting multiple pages in a single operation.
• Page duplication. Creates identical copies of pages within the same document or for pasting into other PDF files.
• Order reversal. Automatically reorders all pages of the document in reverse order with a single click.
• Metadata editing. Modifies document properties such as title, author, and keywords without altering the main content.
• Interactive preview. Displays thumbnails of all pages to make navigation and selection easier during the editing process.
• Action history. Includes undo and redo functions to revert unwanted changes during the working session.
• Built-in clipboard. Copies pages to the clipboard for pasting into the same document or other files open in the application.

The project began as a fork of PDF-Shuffler in 2017, aiming to modernize the codebase and add new features. Developed in Python with PyGObject for the graphical interface, it uses pikepdf as its file processing engine. The application is distributed under the GPLv3 license and is maintained by open-source contributors.
