Single-binary command-line tool to merge, split, compress, encrypt, and OCR PDF files.

Desktopfreeglobal

pdf-cli is a free, cross-platform command-line tool for merging, splitting, compressing, encrypting, and extracting text or images from PDF files, with optional OCR for scanned documents. It supports Unix-style pipelines and structured output, aimed at people who want to script or batch-process PDF tasks from a terminal rather than a GUI.
