Stirling PDF - Advanced PDF editing and manipulation

#1 Post by hasmak »

I cam across Stirling PDF tools, and thought it might be useful to others.
It is a locally hosted, highly advanced, feature rich PDF viewer, editor and manipulator
web site: https://stirlingtools.com/
GitHub: https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF
Demo page: https://stirlingpdf.io/
I made a completely portable installation, uploaded to Mega, you can download from: https://mega.nz/file/0QdWzboI#OcO_CPqHe ... fP0oKzNZIY

Just download the zip, unpack any where, double click or right click or open a terminal, cd to your installation directory and run Stirling-PDF.jar
this will start the service in the background
Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000/
I configured it to use port 3000, but this can be changed by editing StirlingPDF/configs/custom_settings.yml
I suggest for first run use the terminal, this will let you know if port 3000 is open
I also included a couple of launchers to start the service and launch the browser, you will need to edit the launchers to reflect your directory.
Hope you will enjoy it
Cheers
