I’ve got two Forge PDF updates ready to try. Forge PDF is a free, open-source PDF editor that runs offline on Windows.
v1.5.0 cleaned up the Page actions menu and added PDF creation from blank pages or images, more ways to move and duplicate page ranges, cropping, shapes and arrows, image and text exports, and lossless compression.

v1.6.0 lets you create PDFs from pasted text or UTF-8 files, make ruled or grid worksheets, split documents by page count or at specific pages, and generate printable contact sheets. You can also set the resolution and grayscale options for image exports, adjust JPEG quality, read embedded page text in the app, and export page details, links, notes, and bookmarks as CSV.

I also fixed the project page menu so it matches the main Forge site.

To try the latest version, download the Windows ZIP from the v1.6.0 release, extract it, and open Forge PDF.exe. If you try it, let me know what works for you or what needs adjusting.
