I just found this interesting PDF tool:

https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf

Fully offline, everything is client side, the files get edited in the browser, there's no server uploads.

This looks great, but if everything is client side, then why do I need a browser to access this?

If you have other software capable of running Javascript, you're welcome to use that too. That's what the underlying libraries are written in.

I didn't know this existed. Granted I don't know a lot about web development. An example ?

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago

Nodejs. I don't know if it supports GUIs though. I'm not aware of any other JS implementations outside the browser.

I thought the same thing. It would be great if they packaged this in a flatpak or appimage, although right now it is so simple that anything else would be bloat.

I bet you could download the HTML and just use that.

StirlingPDF always rubbed me the wrong way and felt super corporate, definitely gonna replace it with this

Would you mind elaborating on the 'corporate' aspect ? I'm not sure I understand what you mean

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 5 points 10 months ago

Looks good. I've put it on my server.

Having just installed StirlingPDF this week, can someone please explain the pros and cons of both?

@warmaster this is AWESOME!!

Glad you liked it. If you find it useful, be kind to the dev and leave him a star and a nice comment on github.
