Stirling-PDF: Locally hosted web application that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files (github.com)

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...

gray22,

I’ve used it a bit, mostly for merging/splitting some pdf files. Haven’t delved much into the advanced features. Its been flawless for those tasks. It was also super simple to setup.

gray22,

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.

gray22,

Completely agree. I haven’t used NPM since I started self hosting a few years ago, but I was never able to get it to work right. I ended up using apache2 as it was pretty well documented everywhere. Moved to caddy v1 when I found it as the config is so easy to write and understand. Moved to v2 when it was released and had no issues. Their forum is incredibly helpful if you run into any issues. At this point its a “relatively” mature platform and most projects I’ve setup have an example config (usually just 1 or 2 lines because that’s all you need).

This is interesting. I’ve never heard of this project but it looks really neat.

Do you self host your email or use it with an email provider? Also, does it need its own inbox/address to function? I can’t really tell from the documentation if it functions along side normal emails or if it’ll mess up your inbox if you use it with your normal inbox/address.

gray22,

Awesome - thanks for the info!

gray22,

Not the same person but a couple of the reasons I can’t get away from it are:

-ability to “print” a pdf in to it and directly markup the pages without having to open the actual file in another application (it also runs OCR on the pages so they remain searchable)

-you can also “print” PowerPoint presentations in a similar way

-it handles inking with a pen super well

I have lots of academic papers and presentations that I routinely reference for my job so these are killer features for me
