This seems too complicated to perform simple tasks of split merge edit not to mention the GBs of space docker and dependencies will take.
Thank you
Can someone convert this mumble jumble of docker api endpoint locally environment into a working software that people can actually install and use on their pc/mac/phone??? This seems too complicated to perform simple tasks of split merge edit not to mention the GBs of space docker and dependencies will take. Thank you
One thing I think is really lacking from the PDF ecosystem is good open-source tools around signing. PDF signatures are something that is legally important in a lot of the world with regulations like eIDAS. Unfortunately it's extremely difficult to cryptographically sign PDF documents with tools other than Adobe's and some other (often more sketchy) proprietary tools. Even if you figure out how to use stuff like Libr…

In the EU, in order to have a legal guarantee of being treated as the same as a handwritten signature in all member states, you have to meet "Qualified Electronic Signature" level, which means cryptographic signatures and the involvement of some kind of trust services provider who validates the certificate used to sign. In practice this is rare, and ordinary electronic signatures a la Preview work for most things.
The more you work on this stuff the more you hate proprietary formats as well as having to rely on open source repos operated at the whim of a few good people.

The claim, or the software? If the software was developed by ChatGPT it probably sucks. If it wasn't developed by ChatGPT, its author is a liar. So either way, fuck it.
Who cares if it was developed by ChatGPT if it actually works? Why not try it out first before crapping on someone's hard Open Source work?

Absolutely, and that's what I tend to do with my documents IRL, but I think it would be really nice if we could move to a world where signing documents digitally actually meant something more than `signature.png`.

Marketplace at least in the US has shown that once you have this, the actual cryptography really doesn't matter. All anyone seems to care about seems to be "We are company X and have been doing this business for Y years and here's our standard operating policy. We emailed address A at time T1 and the person reading that email address used our online services to electronically 'sign' the pdf P at time T2."
Everyone trusts Adobe/Dropbox/et al to make that claim, nobody cares about certificates and what not.

They seem to have a working solution that they, and their wife, is happy with. Why should they spend money on a different solution?
Because it is two birds with one stone? Because it is one less system to maintain? Because it is superior to a web based UI with mutliple tools under different headers? because it is simple for even the least technical? Suggestion is to use a free Pdf xchange editor by tracker software. And print the document to pdf when done.
From the README: “Stirling PDF does not initiate any outbound calls for record-keeping or tracking purposes”. Beyond auditing the code, how could a potential user verify this claim in advance, and how can a web-based app help support such a claim (in particular when the app does need to make some web requests to operate, but only to a restricted list of URLs that might be listed in a manifest along the lines of a Con…
