Here's the Windows software, so far, that I've tested for PDF manipulation. <https://i.postimg.cc/jSNb7bkF/pspdf.jpg> However, your point about testing Linux/Mac software is well taken, given the c.e and c.t.p newsgroups will have folks on the Linux & Mac newsgroups. My history is that I cut my teeth on IBM assembly, cobol, fortran 77, etc., so I grew up on PDP11, DEC/VMS, SunOS, Solaris, etc., well before my first real Linux (Redhat) & then Centos & Ubuntu, so I agree Linux is important. And, in the Silicon Valley corporate atmosphere, long ago we all used the Mac before the dual boot Windows/Redhat became our standard desktop PC. Since I always download and test (almost) every suggested pgm, what's needed for me to add Linux would be to dual boot to test these apps out. For a long while I dual booted to Ubuntu in the Unity days and as an indirect result, I personally abandoned the dual boot before Unity (thankfully) died (although I had switched the desktop by then to KDE). The point of that history being that while I *agree* Linux is important, I'm not going to be who affirms what works and what doesn't, for Linux. Likewise, while I have probably more Apple mobile devices than most people, being a substitute teacher has taught me that the Mac isn't designed with anywhere near, oh, shall we say "freedoms", as anything that I'm used to. So, while both the Mac & Linux are widely available for PDF manipulation, I'm not going to be the one to flesh out what works & what doesn't on 'em. But someone else can take up the banner and run with it, as this is Usenet.
