  • https://github.com/ho-tex/pdfcrop (commonly included with LaTeX) for cropping margins - it cuts the pdf down to its contents then adds a margin of your choosing, extremely useful for forcing academic papers to have consistent margins, pdfcrop --margins 72 *pdf here* will create a document with a ~1in margin all around (it uses bp as its units)
  • https://www.libvips.org/ for resizing/converting images - it’s a bit faster and lighter than imagemagick in my experience, although the main reason I use it instead of imagemagick is just because I like playing around with stuff I haven’t used before :) It has an officially supported python binding too

Very similar to you. I do use gramma for spellchecking. My most used app overall is probably pandoc. I use it to make all my docs and presentations for work.

Do you create slides with it? Which input format do you use for that? I usually use LaTeX for slides but would be interested in an alternative.

I use most of these that you listed, except that I don’t use office apps at all, and do all my documents using LaTeX in neovim.

Also, I have small helper scrips for pdf manipulation for tasks that I do regularly, like making my handwritten notes ready for printing at my office since I don’t like the algo my office printer uses to convert them to B&W. I also use sejda-console for merging PDFs as it has nice options for manipulating TOC during the merge.

Another nice utility is ffpb which is basically a wrapper around ffmpeg that gives it a nice progress bar.

Aria2c is the best downloader for large files. It also supports torrents.
