BentoPDF - The Privacy First PDF Toolkit
I thought this would be relevant to Linux, since the options available to us Linux users are either unmaintained, hard to use, require a subscription, an account, or to upload your content to a server.
BentoPDF is the opposite of all that.
I just hope they add a dumb-proof way to install it (PWA? Flatpak?) for easy access.
FWIW https://gitlab.com/pdftk-java/pdftk works well. Sure it hasn't been updates for a couple of years but maybe it's not really needed.
Yeah, I just use Inkscape, I know it well and it's very well maintained. But it's overkill for most people.
They work great in combination. I used to generate report pages by generating SVG with ruby scripts and then convert to PDF with inkscape and then use pdftk to assemble the pages and add stamps where needed. :)
I've never tried the inkscape cli, how is it ?
Its been a while since I've used it, and I don't remember it being great, but more than enough to convert a SVG into a PDF reliably.
Incredible, thank you!
Indeed! Only today I was struggling how to edit PDF on Linux.
I just use my browser of choice to view them.
Can I just save this as an html file (with all js inside, in a script element) and use this single html file to work with pdfs (after opening it in a browser)?
I bet you can, get it from their github.
Couldn't make it work, unfortunately.
