https://pdfrecast.com/ PDF Recast is a browser-based PDF toolkit built to make everyday PDF tasks simple. Edit existing PDF text, work with scanned PDFs, add signatures, merge and compress files, and convert between PDF and Word A major focus is privacy: PDF Recast is designed to perform supported document processing in the browser rather than sending your personal documents to third-party processing services. We're actively improving and would love feedback from early users.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I’ve been building PDF Recast to solve a problem that looked simple at first: editing an existing PDF directly in the browser.
PDFs turned out to be anything but simple. Different fonts, encodings, scanned documents and PDF structures made real-world files much more challenging than expected.
PDF Recast now supports PDF text editing along with tools such as signatures, merge, compression and conversion.
I'm especially interested in feedback from people who regularly work with PDFs. If you try it with a real-world, non-sensitive PDF and something doesn’t work as expected, please let me know. Those difficult cases are particularly useful for improving compatibility.
Thanks for checking out PDF Recast!
