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

Appreciate your sharing this, though I'm not willing myself to open a port to some unknown, locally-hosted program.
