At least it is open source. It never hurts to have something web based but I prefer an application. I use a commercial product for Linux. Master PDF Editor. It is good, but their copy protection sucks. Better don't forget to "deregister" ist before wiping your harddrive, otherwise your code won't work. But there is always customer service....

I generally agree, but I also very often need to quickly do something basic to a PDF from my phone (like split a 2-column layout to single-column so it's actually readable) or when doing something on someone else's computer and little web tools like this are great for that.

And yes, Master PDF Editor is an amazing piece of software! It makes creating PDF forms so easy that every time I get a PDF to fill out, I make it a form and send back an empty copy too so whoever sent it to me can use that instead. I've gotten a few smaller organisations to start using mine instead.
