PDFPatcher is a free Windows PDF toolbox built on .NET with iText and MuPDF, offering bookmark editing, page cropping/rotation, merging and splitting, image extraction, font replacement, OCR, and a document structure inspector. It is a desktop GUI application released under AGPL with an additional 'conscience license' asking users to do good deeds.

Use cases

  • edit pdf bookmarks in bulk
  • merge multiple pdfs with bookmarks
  • split a pdf and keep the table of contents
  • remove copy and print restrictions from a pdf
  • extract images from a pdf losslessly
  • convert pdf pages to images
  • ocr a scanned pdf and turn its table of contents into bookmarks
  • inspect and edit the internal structure of a pdf

When to choose

  • you need a free Windows GUI tool for heavy PDF bookmark editing or batch restructuring
  • you want to merge/split PDFs while preserving or regenerating bookmarks
  • you need to inspect or tweak low-level PDF document structure
  • you work with scanned Chinese books and need right-to-left/vertical reading plus OCR-generated bookmarks

When to avoid

  • you need a library to embed in your own code (it is an end-user application, and its extra 'conscience license' adds obligations beyond AGPL)
  • you need cross-platform or Linux/macOS support
  • you only need simple viewing or lightweight annotation
  • you require a permissively licensed dependency for commercial products
