Using the qpdf AppImage bundle (for Linux x86_64 systems only)

Tips:

  • After downloading, you have to set the executable bit for any AppImage (for security reasons this is disabled by default): chmod +x <name-of-application>.AppImage

  • Run the qpdf AppImage with the --ai-usage parameter to start learning some useful details about built-in features of this specific AppImage.

  • You can rename the AppImage to any name allowed for file names on Linux. The .AppImage suffix is not required for it to function. It will also work as expected if you invoke it from a symlink. Using qpdf as its filename or symlink name is OK. However, you may want to continue using the qpdf package provided by your system's package manager side by side with the AppImage bundle: in this case it is recommended to use qpdf.ai as a short name for (or as the symlink name to) the qpdf-.AppImage.
