This is a robust, locally hosted web-based PDF manipulation tool using Docker. It enables you to carry out various operations on PDF files, including splitting, merging, converting, reorganizing, adding images, rotating, compressing, and more. This locally hosted web application has evolved to encompass a comprehensive set of features, addressing all your PDF requirements.

Stirling PDF does not initiate any outbound calls for record-keeping or tracking purposes.

All files and PDFs exist either exclusively on the client side, reside in server memory only during task execution, or temporarily reside in a file solely for the execution of the task. Any file downloaded by the user will have been deleted from the server by that point.

Have used it for some months and it's great. I mostly use it for basic stuff like splitting / merging pdfs because im too lazy to look up the pdftk command.

But there are many more features like sanitizing (removing embedded JS code) or OCR (which works great).

I needed to write in fields of a pdf and ran this quickly only to find out there wasnt such a feature. If I missed something let me know, it looks like great software.

I just looked into this on my own install, it isn't super straightforward. The "View PDF" tool lets you annotate documents and fill in fields.

PDF format author: I'm glad to present this device-agnostic, non-editable format!

People: Here is the 1001th tool to modify the content of a PDF file.

We use it at school. It's great because no one has to sign in, and does most of what's needed
