Nope. 3 free per month. You'd know that if you tried it. Commonly known as a "free plan"

Bad analogy Imagine a pizza place where you can try three slices for free before you order one? Or that you can make a pizza at the shop, add and remove topping as you wish until you're satisfied?

Show HN is show your product. That's what I'm doing. It's not an open source forum. The only shilling is mentioning other products on someone else's post...

First thing is it was released much after BreezePDF was. You could make the same argument with Adobe or any other PDF software. Why doesn't everyone use all use BentoPDF? Things like brand, and simply what shows up when they search on

Thanks for trying it! In what scenario was undo not working? If you can provide that context, I can dig into it more as to what wasn't undoing properly. For text editing, I see the issue with that for some of the fonts. Fixing now Sorr

Far from it haha Some features took a longggg time to do, such as table extraction, text editing, and (surprisingly) preserving positioning of elements (text, images etc.) when rotating the page in the downloaded file - PDF specification ha

Thanks! Feel free to send feedback to joe@breezepdf.com if you get the chance to try it. Regarding your concern, if a manipulation of the PDF doesn't meet the standard specification, it won't render properly in a PDF viewer as it

Yes, it definitely is. It handles everything from the basics like editing, signing, and merging to more advanced stuff like OCR, redaction, and digital certificates all in a clean and lightweight interface. The desktop app is only 58mb and

Free is still in this post. It's free to use, you can use the editor as much as you want with 40+ tools. Just a limit of 3 exports.

I made a first version of it if you want to check it out! It's under the "markup" tab

Neat idea. Basically an "Enhance Readability" button. I'm looking into how it can be done, will report back.

Yes, yesterday's post got marked as duplicate because I didn't reference the previous post from last year. I got permission from the HN moderator tomhow to repost it again with the reference to last year's post.

I sent an email to the HN email with the updated description since time expired to update it myself. Take a look, thanks!

You can simply open the network requests and verify for yourself. Or download the desktop version

It's not false at all. You don't have to sign up to use the product. No sign up doesn't mean no limitations.

I'd get sued for wording on Hacker News? The website has it's own copy anyways which goes into more detail than an HN post

Yes, but not a desktop app that doesn't require downloading the code from GitHub

The MuPDF part is separated from the rest of the code as a completely separate file communicated to over web workers, so the separation means the rest of the code does not need to be open source.

Thanks! Looking into text removal issue, fixing now. Yes, PDF data is never uploaded to the servers. It's the entire reason I created the project, after seeing the all the main results you see when you search on Google upload your data

Understood. Yes, it was a major upgrade since last time, where then it only had maybe 6/7 features. Now it has nearly 40, plus desktop and a CLI. I updated the intro, is if sufficient to be unmarked as dup? Thanks

There is no sign up required to use it for the 3 free downloads (unlike many other PDF products).

If I go to the grocery store and I grab bananas off the shelf, they're already in my hand, so why should I pay?
