*PDF Arranger* is a small python-gtk application, which helps the user to merge
or split PDF documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an
interactive and intuitive graphical interface. It is a front end for
[pikepdf](https://github.com/pikepdf/pikepdf).

*PDF Arranger* is a fork of Konstantinos Poulios’s PDF-Shuffler
(see [Savannah](https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/pdfshuffler) or
[Sourceforge](http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfshuffler)).
It’s a humble attempt to make the project a bit more active.

### Linux and BSD packages

[![Linux packages](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/pdfarranger.svg?columns=4&exclude_unsupported=1)](https://repology.org/project/pdfarranger/versions)

## Customization of keyboard shortcuts

You can change the default keyboard shortcuts. To do so, set `enable_custom` to `true` and edit the shortcuts in `config.ini` in the `[accelerators]` section.

*   For Linux: `~/.config/pdfarranger/config.ini`
*   For Windows installer version: `C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\pdfarranger\config.ini`
*   For Windows portable version, the file is located in the same folder as pdfarranger.exe. Optionally, this file can be removed. The application will then use the same config file location as in the installer version.

## Set custom language in Windows

Add/modify: `language = xx_YY` in `preferences` section in `config.ini` (where `xx_YY` is for example `en_US`)

## Install from source

*PDF Arranger* requires [pikepdf](https://github.com/pikepdf/pikepdf) >= 1.17.0.
Pip will automatically install the latest pikepdf if there is no pikepdf installed on the system.

**On Debian-based distributions**

```
sudo apt-get install python3-pip python3-distutils-extra python3-wheel python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-poppler-0.18 gir1.2-handy-1 python3-setuptools
```

**On Arch Linux**

```
sudo pacman -S poppler-glib python-distutils-extra python-pip python-gobject gtk3 python-cairo libhandy
```

**On Fedora**

```
sudo dnf install poppler-glib python3-distutils-extra python3-pip python3-gobject gtk3 python3-cairo python3-wheel python3-pikepdf python3-img2pdf python3-dateutil
```

**On FreeBSD**

```
sudo pkg install devel/gettext devel/py-gobject3 devel/py-pip devel/py-python-distutils-extra graphics/poppler-glib textproc/intltool textproc/py-pikepdf x11-toolkits/gtk30
```

**Then**

```
pip3 install --user --upgrade https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger/zipball/main
```

In addition, *PDF Arranger* supports image file import if [img2pdf](https://gitlab.mister-muffin.de/josch/img2pdf) is installed.

## For developers

```
git clone https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger.git
cd pdfarranger
./setup.py build
python3 -m pdfarranger
```

For Windows see [Win32.md](Win32.md).

## For translators

*   Download the main branch (see [For developers](#for-developers))

*   Run `po/genpot.sh`. The `pot` is an automatically generated file and as such
    should not be in the repository. It is to make life of some translators
    easier, but it might be out of sync with the source code. If you can
    regenerate it before adding or updating a translation, then do it.

*   Translations are in the following files:
    *   [`po`](po)`/*.po`
    *   [data/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger.metainfo.xml](data/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger.metainfo.xml)
    *   [data/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger.desktop](data/com.github.jeromerobert.pdfarranger.desktop)

*   For mnemonics accelerators (letters preceded by an underscore) try to follow
    those rules by priority order:
    *   be consistent with other GTK/GNOME software
    *   pick a unique letter **within that given menu** if possible
    *   pick the same letter as the original string if available
    *   pick a strong letter (e.g. in "Search and replace" rather pick `s`, `r` or `p` than `a`)

*   If possible, test your translation to see it in context (see [For developers](#for-developers))

*   You may test different languages with `LANG=xx_YY python3 -m pdfarranger`
    For Windows see [Set custom language in Windows](#Set-custom-language-in-Windows)

*   Do not include `pdfarranger.pot` (or any `*.po` file which was just
    automatically regenerated) in your pull request. Submit only the translations
    you actually updated or added.

*   If you don’t want or can’t use the developers tooling (`git`,
    `po/genpot.sh`, `python`, …) you can edit, download or upload the `*.po`
    files from the GitHub web pages.
