Always great to see a new native Mac app with small size (10 MB). Looks like a nice featureset for what it's intended to do, print booklets and massaging the output.

Didn't see a feature for changing the size of a single page. For ex. sometimes I want to add a cover image to an existing PDF, and the image might not match the size of the rest of the PDF - would be nice to be able to easily resize that page to match the others, i.e. resizing of individual pages.
