Stirling PDF brings more than 60 PDF tools to your own computer, free for individual use

The PDF chores nobody enjoys, merging, splitting, compressing, signing, can all be done tonight without handing the file to a website you have never heard of.

Stirling PDF is an open-source PDF workbench with more than 60 tools for reading, editing, signing, redacting, converting, and automating documents, and its own site says the editor runs on your machine, is free for individual use, and has passed 30 million downloads. Its GitHub repository carries 90,700 stars and 8,200 forks and calls itself the number one PDF application on GitHub. XDA's August 27 write-up describes the version 2.0 interface, a Multi-Tool Workspace that chains several edits without re-uploading the file, and a Mobile Scanner that hands a phone photo to the desktop app over a QR code. The honest limit is that a few features still want server-side processing, and those prompt you to connect to Stirling Cloud or a server you run yourself.

Keep and Ponder

The useful work is finished. Keep what is true, ponder what matters, and entrust the rest to God.

Keep

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you.
John 14:27, KJV

Ponder

Release the need to replay one difficult moment.

Entrust

Christ, let your peace be stronger than the day still echoing in me. Amen.

A practice shaped by Luke 2:19Guided by the biblical witness of Mary of Nazareth.
