Pdf Margins

In Short

Why is it still so hard to write next to a PDF?

Most apps let you annotate on the page, but not around it. Sometimes you just want margins to scribble notes next to slides or papers.

I got annoyed enough to write a small script that simply adds margins around a PDF so there’s space to write.

Runs with uv and inline dependencies. Script below as a gist.
