How you uninstall PDF Arranger depends entirely on how you installed it, and picking the wrong method is the usual reason people think the app is still there afterwards. This guide covers each route separately: the Windows MSI install, the Windows portable version, and the main Linux methods. Uninstalling never touches the PDF files you…
Most Linux dependency trouble with PDF Arranger comes from one route: installing from source. Package and Flatpak installs bring their dependencies with them, but a source install only works if the right Python, GTK and library bindings are already on your system, and the app may refuse to start when one is missing, or may…
PDF Arranger shows you every page as a thumbnail and lets you drag pages around visually. That is its strength, and it is also why very large files feel heavy: a document with hundreds of pages, or pages scanned at high resolution, means hundreds of previews to render and keep in memory.

Launch failures after an install have been reported by Windows users in the project’s issue tracker, and in practice they usually come down to a damaged download, an incomplete install, or something on…
You double-click a PDF, or use File > Open inside PDF Arranger, and nothing useful happens: the file does not appear, the window stays empty, or the app closes again. Before assuming the app is broken, work through the checks below in order. Most cases turn out to be a problem with the file itself…
