Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Rohan, and I made Paperwing. Every time I needed to merge two PDFs or sign a form, Acrobat asked me to sign in, start a trial or upgrade. So I built a PDF app that works like Acrobat, without any of that. It's free and open source, for Windows and macOS. What you get: → 100+ tools: edit text and images, annotate, redact, sign, fill and create forms, convert to and from Word, Excel, PowerPoint and 30+ other formats, merge, split, compress, OCR, PDF/A, encrypt → A familiar workspace: tabs, an All tools panel, a floating annotation toolbar and Acrobat's keyboard shortcuts → Private by default: no account, no analytics, and your files never leave your computer → Small things that matter: results open in a new tab so your original stays untouched, session restore, reopen closed tab, a command palette, light and dark mode, and a portable Windows version Paperwing is built on BentoPDF, an open-source project by Alam that does all of the PDF processing. Paperwing adds the desktop app and the Acrobat-style workspace on top. If you like it, please consider sponsoring BentoPDF too. One heads-up: it isn't code-signed yet, so Windows and macOS will warn the first time you open it. The install guide covers the one-time steps. I'd love to know: what do you still open Acrobat for? Your answers decide what I build next. (Paperwing isn't affiliated with Adobe.)
