Releases

Installation

PdfJumbler requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), version 11 or above. You can download one at https://adoptopenjdk.net/.

Windows users can simply download and run the installer (setup-pdfjumbler.exe), which creates a start menu entry for PdfJumbler.

For Ubuntu (and probably Debian), you can use this command to install PdfJumbler:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mgropp/pdfjumbler/master/setup/ubuntu/install.sh | bash

Alternatively, there is a runnable jar file (just double-click), pdfjumbler.jar.

User Interface

The user interface is actually rather simple: pages can be moved around using drag&drop (or the keyboard, see below), and for more complex operations there's a second page list available to the left (just pull it out).

Command Line

PdfJumbler accepts pdf files as command line arguments.

Several settings can be changed using Java system properties:

pdfjumbler.editor: sets the editor plugin (if installed; previous plugins are no longer supported)
- PDFBox: net.sourceforge.pdfjumbler.pdfbox.PdfEditor
pdfjumbler.renderer: sets the renderer plugin (if installed; previous plugins are no longer supported)
- PDFBox: net.sourceforge.pdfjumbler.pdfbox.PdfRenderer
