Hi everyone. Hope you are well. BentoPDF recently hit 10k stars on Github in just under 3 months of launch and I am very grateful to the community! ❤️

BentoPDF's new version has been released. And I had implemented some of the requested feature here such as: Digital Signing of PDFs and Validation along with Email to PDF support and Deskewing of PDF. I have attached the release note link with the post. Moreover the OCR feature now performs on par with OCRMyPDF.

The reason I am making this post is gain feedback on the existing features of Bento, but most importantly Bento is going to have a Desktop version soon. Initially it will be launched for Mac users. Bento is inherently fast, but browsers and wasm have limitations, and this aims to solve it with the use of native libraries and leverage the CPU for faster processing and handling of large files efficiently.

I want to know what is the feature you use the most or is there any feature you'd like to be done that existing PDF softwares don't do well. I am happy for any feedback! Thank you (:

Grats on the 10k stars!

Unfortunately I'm also in the camp of "when would I need this" but maybe I'll try to set it up anyways/just in case. I never need to do anything to pdfs that Firefox can't do...

I thought it was neat and installed it, but I had no specific use cases.

It came in handy when I was trying to combine a bunch of PDFs a few weeks later. Then I used it again to remove some pages from another PDF. I like having it around
