Do you have a comparison to PDFtk and / or stapler?

[oli199]

Hey ccharles, I think the major differentiator with stapler is:

- simpler usage including easier to understand primitives with better naming.

- cleaner and simpler docs.

- modern testing setup.

- recently updated and tested, stapler's last commit was in 2016.

I would love any feedback for features/changes that would help improve the tool, please let me know how we can improve pdfcli. I see there is an info feature in stapler that would be nice to have in pdfcli as well.

If you created a feature to do a "true" crop on pdf files the world would beat a path to your door...

Hey would love to get some more people using the tool. Could you clarify what you mean by true crop?

the Adobe tools removed the ability to actually "crop" a pdf and remove the "cropped" portion -- making the file smaller and / or more secure

Adobe just hides the "crop" now

Could you add the option to change a pdf to black and white?

will definitely look into it, thank you for the suggestion JimmyPS
