Is there an alternative to Adobe for PDFs? I know Microsoft prints to PDF, but I need to be able to combine pdfs or rotate documents when I’ve scanned them upside down.
Sadly I have to keep one Windows machine with Acrobat installed because the tax authorities here use hideous Cthulhu-like many-tentacled “Dynamic Forms” documents that automatically transform into XML (ugh) and only work in Adobe/Windows. But other than tax returns, I only use PDF Studio.
Might be worth giving https://bentopdf.com/ a try. I’ve just started using it . Seems ok. You can spin up your own locally (I haven’t done this yet) or I believe you can also edit PDFs locally in a browser.

I use “PDF Studio” (https://www.qoppa.com/pdfstudio/) and it’s great, no problems at all.

I’ve started using https://bentopdf.com/ seems to have all of those features
If you are a LaTeX user, you can actually do this with LaTeX pdfpackages.
Been using Sterling PDF for times when I need to edit a PDF https://docs.stirlingpdf.com/Installation/Windows Installation
For just viewing or similar edits like rotating I use Okular, it works fine https://okular.kde.org/download/
You could use ilovepdf ? It’s available as a web app for free without an account
Need something more local. Don’t want to accidentally waive attorney-client privilege by using an online utility.

You could try PDFsam Basic. As the name suggests it provides some basic functions, especially the ones you described. Sam stands for split and merge.
I’ll check it out.
