If anyone knows about a FOSS pdf form editor, please share!
Unfortunately, most of the PDF work I do involves things I’m not uploading to a service - ever. I don’t care if they’re “deleted immediately after processing” - they left my control. This sort of software would be great if it were 100% offline. This isn’t just a niche issue either: this is a very real consideration for any corporate user. More companies are taking data loss and security issues seriously, which often…
I work at https://www.pdf-tools.com and we hear this again and again. Despite the proliferation of cloud services, most large enterprises DO NOT want their sensitive documents entering the cloud. And in some cases, e.g. patient medical records, there are strict regulations about how those documents can be stored, which means on-premise is a requirement. Good news for us, as that's what we specialise in, but also perp…

docker pull frooodle/stirling-pdf-base
This was on hn a couple of days ago. Stirling pdf is a self hosted docker container and this way you don’t have to worry about files being uploaded. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40242639 I almost thought this hn post was the same service wrapped in a show and tell.
I definitely would recommend it. It was really quick to setup; though my already having a reverse proxy with wild card TLS certs setup probably helped streamline the networking side of things.

No PHP nor JavaScript SDK? You guys don't like money?
It's a fair point. Most of our customers work with CPP, C# and Java in enterprise / back office contexts, which is why no PHP or Javascript right now - we've been tied up with other priorities. That said we just added Python to our main SDK and PHP is coming. Plus our enterprise automation product can basically talk to anything via REST API ( https://www.pdf-tools.com/docs/conversion-service/api/conver... ). But yeah…

using this myself. its pretty good.
Only last week there was a HN thread about how the author said they just used chatgpt to make the entire thing and as a result the code is beyond bad. I don't think I'd trust it.
You can audit the code yourself then. What's stopping you?
What do people use to perform those pdf tasks without uploading sensitive files to a website?
