Thanks a lot for your input. I agree that it can be a good idea to make it clearer that this is like a local / offline tool since that is the biggest difference compared to other tools. Will definitely try to make this clearer. I am no

Thank you! Could be an idea. The PDF logic itself is in a C++ library that can be compiled against different platforms. A cli for instance shouldn't be too difficult to create. If you are thinking about a native UI, I am not sure it ad
