I'm not looking for a full PDF editor. Only to do tasks like merging and splitting PDFs, removing pages, or creating a PDF from a bunch of images.

https://www.ilovepdf.com is very handy, but I don't like the idea of uploading my documents to them, especially if they have sensitive data.

I have been looking for an open source editor that is comparable to Acrobat Pro for years. In fact, this and that it is not even acknowledged that such an essential tool for office workers is missing in Linux are among the main reasons I don't ditch Windows on my main machine.

PDF Arranger, Ghostscript and Master PDF are indeed useful.

PDF4QT was not mentioned by others. It works well already and is a very promising PDF viewer, organiser, editor. I am not sure why it has to be split into three applications.
