Description

Currently Xreader is front-end for poppoler. Pooppler is good.

But there is a very strong tool called QPDF:
https://github.com/qpdf/qpdf

Currently, QPDF has no front-end, in-spit of it's powers !

It will be very nice & useful if Xreader COMBINES the powers of both poppoler & QPDF.

Best.
