Provide CubePDF apps in one single package #36

Hi, I thought if you could make single package for all your PDF apps so whoever wants to use them can install a single software instead of installing three different software. Same way as PDF24 did for their apps. One can access all of PDF24's apps from PDF Toolbox window, though there are actually three or four different apps. This also reduces duplicate library in system drive. You can give the unified package a different name, like CubePDF Suite or CubePDF Creator.

Though PDF24 relies entirely on open-source software like PDFium, Ghostscript, PDFBox, QPDF and Tesseract OCR, but their software isn't open-source. I hope you can keep CubePDF open-source for the foreseeable future and transform it into a fully featured PDF editor.

So here are key points to clear-up if any confusion:

  1. Provide CubePDF apps in one single package.
  2. You can provide a single window to access all apps, if you wish.

Hi, I like to quickly mention that, if you ever want to add OCR support in CubePDF you should check out OCRmyPDF. This tool is build upon Tesseract and specialized to ease PDF OCR. It doesn't change the resolution of the embedded images like other PDF OCR tools.

OK. I don't have anything concrete in mind, but I will investigate at first.
