Description: PDF Chain
        =========

        ![Title Image](https://pdfchain.sourceforge.io/images/screenshots/0.5.0/pdfchain-menu.png)
        
        PDF Chain generates a command for the PDF Toolkit from the GUI settings and executes it on the system.  Therefore the PDF Toolkit must be already installed on the system.
        
        This version is a is a completely new implementation of PDF Chain in Python with a more modern interface design.
