pyPDFeditor-GUI

This project is based on PyQt6 and PyMuPDF and tested on Windows 10 & 11 and Ubuntu on WSL2.

Welcome 🎃🎉

Welcome to use pyPDFeditor-GUI. pyPDFeditor-GUI is a simple cross-platform application, thanks to Python, PyQt6 and PyMuPDF, designed to work on simple PDF handling.

I tried my best to make it close to Fluent UI. Icons used can be found 🔗here.

From version 3.0.0, we have moved the GUI library to PyQt6. If you upgraded from a previous version, you can consider removing PyQt5:

$ pip uninstall PyQt5 PyQt5-Qt5 PyQt5-sip
