PDF Mix Tool 1.0.1 Now Lets You Edit Metadata with an Improved UI & Qt 6 Support
======
[PDF Mix Tool][1] is one of the [best PDF editors for Linux][2] and an alternative to [PDF Arranger][3].
It is a neat and simple GUI tool for manipulating pdf files and allows you to modify your files (rotating, splitting, extracting from files), not their content, however.
Although this application does not come with a lot of tools, it provides a concise toolset so you can manipulate your documents.
After a year of no new releases, the developer is back with another release (1.0.1) with some significant improvements.
Let us discover what features this release has to offer.
### Improved User Interface (UI)
There is now a left sidebar containing icons for all the operations you might need to perform. Each one of the icons has a respective function and its name below it.

This is not a big makeover but helps enhancing the user experience, which should be the focus for a useful tool like PDF Mix Tool.
### PDF Metadata Editing
![][5]
You can now modify your documents title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, and creation and modification dates. Thus, you can edit your documents metadata easily.
### Support for Qt 6.0
PDF Mix Tool is written in C++, and it relies on **qpdf** and the **Qt** library to make its magic work. It supports [Qt 6.0][6] now, which will affect the UX positively.
### Other Improvements
* PDF Mix Tool now adds right-to-left support in page composition.
* Links, annotations, and outlines are preserved as much as possible in all operations.
* This version fixed some bugs.
You can check out the [official changelog][7] in their GitLab page.
### Summing Up
Despite its reputation for being a lightweight, PDF Mix Tool is a handy application that delivers essential capabilities to the user.
You can get it from [Flathub][8] or [Snap store][9]. For Arch Linux users, you may not find the latest release in the repositories or the [AUR][10]. In either case, you can build it from source that can be found on [GitLab][11].
You may want to go through our [Flatpak guide][12] or the tutorial for [using Snaps in Linux][13] to get help with installation.
