SumatraPDF is among the OSS PDF tools I use.

Since Adobe is pushing a more aggressive stance for monetization of Acrobat, I am trying to replace selected PDF workflows with OSS. Here are some of the tools I use.

    qpdf
        removing passwords, unlocking PDFs, conversion
        install in WSL with apt-get install qpdf
        remove password with qpdf --decrypt --password="" input.pdf output.pdf
    PDF4QT - Open Source PDF Editing
        Deleting, Sorting, Extracting Pages
        Currently, no choco release available, must be installed manually from PDF4QT/releases
    Inkscape, LibreOffice Draw
        editing PDFs, adding text
    Mupdf
        Command line tool and Python package for parsing, filling forms, adding text
    SumatraPDF
        Viewing of PDFs
    pdfplumber
        Awesome python package to extract tables from PDFs into data pipelines. Use with Jupyter Lab
