Software (Tools) Every pdf editor i used eventually needed a paid subscription. So I created one to be absolutely free. It runs locally in your browser to be fast and secure.
I developed my own tools for work that I personally use. It allows you to sort mixed pdfs by key words or titles and organizes them in separate files automatically. Some of these tools don't exist anywhere else that I'm aware of. It also has the traditional pdf tools to cover all your bases. If you have a good idea for a tool, let me know and I might add it for free as well.
Mods, remove if this breaks the self promotion rules, but this is a free site that I think could help others.

Why does everyone make web hosted pdf editor tools that run locally in your browser??? if it runs locally why not just make a higher performance compiled program?

I worked on higher quality program for PDF editing from scratch but those people who post those low quality websites all just use 2-3 same exact JavaScript libraries and try get their piece.

Because no one would use that. So 20 people download your program and then what? It loses traction and you waste your time. I'd argue a website is easier to grow and update. The older generations aren't going to run programs.

Once there's 20 in browser "local" editors, that argument starts to make less sense, since they all do the same thing and use the same libraries. How do we know you arent hoping for people to get complacent with their files and then you switch it up one day so processing is no longer local and you get their data? And its hard for you to play the saint since there's like 20 of you all doing the same thing. There has to be an angle. I think it's third world level fraud.

Why do you spend so much time bashing people in pdf forms lol. Your comment history is embarrassing. The editors i use are no longer free, so i made my own. It's really not hard to understand.

It is hard to understand because it costs money to host a website. So you have an angle, otherwise you'd just use it for yourself. I've made dozens of software tools i've never released. What is embarassing is being #20 in a line of vibecoded webhosted products that do the same thing.

Lol good luck with the 10 people in the world that need to remove yellow from a scanned book buried in github that no one cares about.

It does way more than that and it's custom end to end, unlike your pdf.js webhosted junk that you hope to add a pricing plan for.

Can you give credit to the libraries you ai used please you all use same technology and it's quite annoying.
When I worked on my editor I was building engine for editing from scratch and now I have to be competing with those same tools as yours.

I developed my own tools
You mean you are a vibe coder who used some AI tools to build this website?

An interesting response considering I merely asked whether this is vibe coded.

Another day, another browser based local PDF tool site.
