A question that's likely better suited for the devs, but why make this a "self-hosted" web application at all? Why not just make this an installable app? I feel like having to setup a server just to edit PDFs is a massively unnecessary hurdle, especially for the layman. Doesn't this worsen the problem of open-source solution only being for techies?

you really have to want a free pdf software pretty bad to go through installing docker and all the components to make it run a web server on your pc just for that

One issue is that it can not be used as default application for the PDF files in the system? You always have to launch your docker container if not yet running, then go to the URL, then open your file selection dialog, blah blah blah. You can't just double-click your PDF file and see it open in your Stirling application? That is a bummer and probably a reason why enterprises and individuals might not use it. Only people who have to manipulate PDF files will want this, but it can't be used as a default PDF viewer, for which Acrobat Reader is still free. But it is a great free alternative to Acrobat Pro or other paid PDF applications. Thank your for this video.

Thank you . Excellent tutorial got it up and running in no time thanks to you.

Funny thing: the ad at the beginning was from Adobe 😂

Thank you!!! I just installed and set this up. Been struggling with signing pdfs and not wanting to pay (yet another) subscription fee to adobe! This is awesome!

Wow that is an excellent tool

I was hoping that signing would be more like what we might see with for example Docusign. And that a signature box could be placed as needed, with the signature then being inserted with a click. Adding initials is also used, per page of documents that get signatures.

can you browse Navidrome by folders?

If I’ve got to install from the command line,forget it !!

Bro cmd not working its saying flatpak not recognised

Thank you for the video! I was not familiar with this tool; I installed it and did the first tests. The impact is not the best. Am I wrong or is there no tool to edit pdf files directly? I have seen the ability to convert a pdf to Word, but it would be convenient to be able to work directly on the pdf to edit just a few words or sentences. I have yet to find an open-source tool that satisfies me on this front (although Draw from LibreOffice does a decent job in most cases). Also, the conversion from pdf to word seems to me not very efficient: a 132 kB file (with many tables, it is true) became 3.35 MB...

Think I'll stick with Adobe. Everything is just there in a user friendly interface and isn't separate tools.

I spent 13 hours trying to figure out port forwarding and it only took me until the last few minutes of your video to figure it out. I will be becoming a patreon when I get back to work.

Does it render overprint views correctly?

Online software is a complete nonstarter for anyone working with sensitive documents.

Cool, I'm gonna throw this up on my Proxmox server. Sure beats recreating a doc with groff and making a PDF from that...

thanks for this video! I followed everything and for some strange reason I get tons of errors and the application does not come up properly. anyone else is having this issue? thanks in advance

I clicked on this video and got a adobe ad, good job adsense.

Brian great video. I hope you do a follow up video to show how to setup auto scan folders and for pipeline tasks.

This is awesome. Been looking all over how to do this so that i can use the switch and wireless functions. Leaving openwrt to do the routing..

Like open office.. "almost 100% compatible". Not good enough.

Been looking for something like this for a while will definitely be trying it out.

Hi, I have 8 Reolink cameras connected to the 8 channel Reolink Nvr. Can I just point this to the nvr and get the 8 feeds that way? I also love the Reolink cameras, bang for buck they cant be beaten.

Love your videos, Brian. You are truly an inspiration for aspiring homelab enthusiasts. Keep bringing out these open-source videos that help the community!

Does it read 3D PDFs?

best PDF tool. In the settings.yml you can name it tool and header Custumizen as well as settings än

Brian, thanks for sharing the info about this tool, it's going to be really useful!

Donate to Open Source.

it's especially useful on phones and tablets, been using it for months :)) that said, I can't yet imagine use in big company, might need some kind of user management, clustering and more languages supported

Very useful video, thanks :)

Thanks. Have you tried using Dockge? I had Stirling PDF up and running in less than 30 seconds which included grabbing the Docker Compose file.

*Hi there , thank you very much for this, but I'm looking for an open source streaming platform that can be deployed, that mimics very much the paid ones, like Streamyard, EVmux, and Restream* .

Love this open-source alternative! Thanks for sharing, Totally agree - there are plenty of great free options out there. Kudos to you for spreading the word. big thanks

Thanks.

Thankss, its really works. goodbye smallpdf ilovepdf etc etc

Thanks

Adobe has its place. I prefer linux. Not sure why but CUPS doesn't print out barcodes correctly especially when it comes to mailing labels 4*6 I have to leave a VM running windows. I prefer PDFs to get printed by PDF element. Something with the way the PDF prints - the USPS clerks can barely get a scan on any thing from a Linux box. So Adobe, print queues and games (yes windows still has the prestigious gaming experience)as a Linux and FOSS fanboy - windows still has a few reasons to exist

Headquartered in China? Hell no

Amazing app. It's a shame it's so cumbersome to setup and install. I wonder why it can't be install through a simple Flatpak or snap

This is what pretty much any tool can do. A really great editor for PDF is Inkscape, it actually CAN EDIT PDFs.

As a Windows user looking to see if there is a way to work without Windows... I get to 13:20 Installation. I don't understand why this is the requirement of Linux and Git-hub projects? You need low-level system skills to be able to access these alternative product solutions or projects. Why is there no "installation" system on Linux (or that can be applied to Windows) promoted via Git-hub projects that... you know... "installs" these solutions, like a Windows or Mac experience?

Hey there! thanks for helping me set up dashy! I went on to set it as i liked in order to switch to it as my default page, but a thing i am missing is the searchbar. Is there really no way to implement one? I googled it but came up with nothing. I'd like to have a searchbar to search via brave or duckduckgo in my homepage

I searched the GitHub page for it, but what a bummer: It does not support 'Scan to PDF'... That's the only option I'd miss using it. It's a shame you need a third party program to get the PDF first, before being able to use Stirling-PDF. As I looked around the page I found out that the suite uses some already existing packets, so I was wondering why it didn't use something like 'GNOME Simple Scan' as well. I don't know much about that stuff, maybe there is a specific reason why that function isn't included. I don't have a GitHub account myself, otherwise I'd make a pull request. Although I'd rather ask just the maintainer about this issue first, without making a bigger, more official fuss about it (like making a pull request).

Morphos + StirlingPDF are the best

yap bro thanks for the time and awesome info you present. you earn my sub. awesome

Awesome video. Thank you. Open Source rocks

Does anyone know, if it is possible to create forms that I can be send to someone to fill them out. Yes, I tried to find out by looking at their webpage. But I haven't found something. Might be my english which isn't the best in the world :(

The thing with stirling is that it's made through AI and is just badly written overall. Try looking at pdfgear instead
