Stirling-PDF

This is a locally hosted web application that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files, such as splitting and adding images.

Started off as a 100% ChatGPT made application, slowly moving away from that as more features are added

I will support and fix/add things to this if there is a demand Discord

Features

• Split PDFs into multiple files at specified page numbers or extract all pages as individual files.
• Merge multiple PDFs together into a single resultant file
• Convert PDFs to and from images
• Reorganize PDF pages into different orders.
• Add images to PDFs at specified locations.
• Rotating PDFs in 90 degree increments.
• Compressing PDFs to decrease their filesize.
• Add and remove passwords
• Set PDF Permissions
• Add watermark(s)
• Dark mode support.

Technologies used

• Spring Boot + Thymeleaf
