The Books app is even better! But a programmer it's just as quick to run shrinkpdf in a Linux terminal, and, well, more ascetic.
I do think Sumatra PDF is good for Windows software, it's not bloated and it's fast.

certainly, but 99% computer user never ever opened the terminal. And even then, good luck rotating page 4 of by 270° using terminal, then inverting it with page 5 and filling the form.
Things that would take 5 seconds on preview.
true, until someone hooks up Linux to an LLM and being CLI driven it would have no problems doing this & more (Also, I think PDF viewers can do that well in Linux too, I only use a minimal viewer so I don't know)

I appreciate your enthusiasm but man you're over complicating stuff. Beside LLM hallucinations, you would have to type to the computer everything you want to do. I can rotate page with one click, move them to another part is doe with a single mouse drag.
