#### Offline PDF toolkit. Your PDFs. Your Device. Your Privacy.

PaperFlow is a complete PDF toolkit that works entirely on your computer.
Nothing is uploaded, no account is needed, and it works without an
internet connection.

* Merge, split, organize, rotate and extract pages, with real page
  thumbnails, drag-and-drop reordering and undo.
* Compress PDFs with quality presets and see how much space you saved.
* Convert pages to PNG or JPEG, images to PDF, and PDFs to text, or
  extract the pictures embedded in a document.
* Add text or image watermarks and page numbers with a live preview.
* Edit document metadata.
* Protect PDFs with AES-256 passwords and permissions, or remove a
  password you know.
* Make scanned documents searchable with OCR in 17 languages.
* Read, search and navigate PDFs in the built-in viewer.

Ghostscript, Poppler, qpdf and Tesseract with its language data are
included, so every tool works out of the box.

## Enable snaps on Ubuntu and install PaperFlow

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.

For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*.

Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:

```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

### Install PaperFlow

To install PaperFlow, simply use the following command:
