PDF Arranger 1.14.0 is out, as always some minor fixes some new features 🥳
There was a bug in pikepdf 10.6.0 till 10.7.1 (fixed in 10.7.2) which could crash PDF Arranger, so if you are installing that by yourself or maintaining a package it would be best to skip those versions or to update to 10.7.2 now.

“Secure #redaction by design and through extensive #testing”
#Censor 0.6.0 comes with many more #security improvements, motivated by extensive testing on more then 1,000 #PDF document samples. You may now redact securely also links, form fields and widgets. In rare cases, when partial image redaction fails, the more secure full image removal is used instead.
But even more important, Censor now warns you, when unsuccessful redaction is detected during postprocessing. This reduces the impact of known issues of unsecure redaction.
Polish is the 11th language you may speak with Censor. Thanks to its translators (among them, @mondstern)!
Thanks a lot also to #pypdf, #qpdf, #pikepdf, #Ghostscript, #MuPDF, #PyMuPDF, and #poppler contributors for the great resource of PDF document samples!

@RomanOnARiver It may have changed in the meantime but back when we used #pypdf it was a lot of trouble; I'd recommend looking into #pikepdf if you run into any issues, it was a gamechanger for us.
You can do it without rasteriation:
1. `inkscape your.svg -o your.pdf`
2. open the PDF in PDF Arranger
3. Right click the page
4. Select "Split pages"
5. Enter 4 vertical 4 horizontal splits
Limitation: I don't think it can add margins for printing, maybe the printer driver can do that.
I'm not sure if there is a cli only solution, it could surely be done with some python using #pikepdf, if you need it fully automatic. Memorizing the keyboard shortcuts for 3-5 could be a quick workaround.
@governa #pikepdf is missing here, it's a really good library based on qpdf and it powers PDF Arranger since we broke up with PyPDF (and never looked back). Furthermore I'm not convinced a ranking is the best representation for a review of libraries that have very different goals and work in very different ecosystems. (It wouldn't make sense to use the top ranked PHP library in an Android app, would it?)
Version 1.11.0 is out with a lot of small bugfixes and improvements. Happy PDF Arranging 🎉
Fixes the incompatibilities with the very fresh #pikepdf v9, which affected people on rolling release distros like archlinux.
