    "why": "Merging a few PDFs or reordering pages usually means uploading the document to an online service. PDF Pocket Tools is a single HTML file of about 200KB you open in the browser to merge, split, rotate, reorder and delete pages, and the files never leave your computer. No install, no account, no internet. It sells for one dollar on itch.io, with a free live demo in the browser that does everything up to the point of saving.",
