β¨ NAME β¨
pdfchain β Graphical User Interface for the PDF Tool Kit π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
pdfchain
that's it. that's the whole thing. no flags, no drama, just vibes. π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so pdfchain is a frontend to the PDF Tool Kit. go peek at pdftk(1) if you wanna know what's underneath, iykyk. π₯
it comes with features designed to handle PDF files in an easy way β lowkey the whole point, honestly. basically (yes, the original says "Basicaly", we don't fix that, we respect it π) it can:
- merge π«Ά
- split βοΈ
- add backgrounds or stamps π
- add attachments π
and there are some tools for extended needs, too β not me being mysterious, that's literally all it says. main character energy. β¨
π OPTIONS π
bestie. the tea. β
pdfchain has no application-specific options. none. zero. not a single flag to her name. she simply launches and slays. π

This manual page was written by Johann Felix Soden <johfel@gmx.de>, for the Debian project (and may be used by others).
and that's the whole page, fr fr. this lil icon was last touched August 4, 2009, and the source/version line reads General Commands Manual β so yeah, vintage but iconic. go merge some PDFs, you got this. π β¨π¦
