That said, if you're looking for a GUI app to do simple PDF mutations it's often hard to fine a simple solid open source cross platform app.

At least I haven't found one :)

I found PDF SAM basic ("split and merge") well done: https://pdfsam.org/en/pdfsam-basic/. That one is open-source and multi-platform, they have more features in a paying superset project.

If self hosting is an option, I've found Signature PDF to be quite good.

i've tried 'pdfcpu images list' on a random pdf i've had lying around and the tool unexpectedly started downloading some font from unspecified internet location to my local disk.

sorry, too spooky even for october. :-)

I had to bash my head against the wall and submit myself to paying for a creative cloud license. At least acrobat just works. Although I wish there was a reasonable alternative.

How about this: https://tools.pdf24.org/en

It allows installation for offline use too.
