I'd like if there's more details on the open source software used.
Same here. No (F)OSS licenses to be found on the page itself. Sus. Perhaps it is simply injecting remote root vulnerabilities into the PDF's.
I hope those are FOSS remote root PDF vulns!

#13I decided to create pdfequips.com when a friend kept sending me PDF files for translation, realizing the widespread need for PDF solutions Now, it serves as a central hub for PDF management, offering conversion tools like PDF to Word and CSV, as well as OCR technology Over the past year, I extensively developed the website, leveraging a wide range of open-source tools on both the front-end and back-end.
I'd like if there's more details on the open source software used.
i used open source solutions to built it, like libreoffice, ghostscript, google's tesseract and a bunch of other tools, Google's Tesseract: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract

the web app i.e the front end part is next.js and typescript mostly, the landing page is built using astro.js, and the back end is heavily python, flask and some javascript for web-to-pdf and markdown-to-pdf, the rest is mostly python

This is great, definitely going into bookmarks. The website design lacks some refinement, but overall easy to use.
thanks for the feedback!

The files are deleted immediately after processing I'm considering implementing WebAssembly (Wasm) to do most of the work on the client's device and enable offline use
