This is a powerful locally hosted web based PDF manipulation tool using docker that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files, such as splitting merging, converting, reorganizing, adding images, rotating, compressing, and more. This locally hosted web application started as a 100% ChatGPT-made application and has evolved to include a wide range of features to handle all your PDF needs.
All files and PDFs are either purely client side, in server memory only during the execution of the task or within a temporay file only for execution of the task.
Any file which has been downloaded by the user will have already been deleted from the server by that time.
Stirling PDF has 3 different versions, a Full version, Lite and ultra-Lite. Depending on the types of features you use you may want a smaller image to save on space.
To see what the different versions offer please look at our [version mapping](https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/Version-groups.md)
For people that dont mind about space optimisation just use latest tag.
And please create a PR to merge it back in so others can use it!
Also please note as i add new features i will google translate existing languages so that they dont lose support. This could mean that new features need grammer corrections as added.
- The default language by providing APP_LOCALE with values like de-DE fr-FR or ar-AR (Note the - character not _ ) to select your default language (Will always default to English on invalid locale) Current accepted locales can be seen above in the Want to add your own language section
- Disable and remove endpoints and functionality from Stirling-PDF. Currently the endpoints ENDPOINTS_TO_REMOVE and GROUPS_TO_REMOVE can include comma seperated lists of endpoints and groups to disable as example ENDPOINTS_TO_REMOVE=img-to-pdf,remove-pages would disable both image to pdf and remove pages, GROUPS_TO_REMOVE=LibreOffice Would disable all things that use LibreOffice. You can see a list of all endpoints and groups [here](https://github.com/Frooodle/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/groups.md)
- Customise static files such as app logo by placing files in the /customFiles/static/ directory. Example to customise app logo is placing a /customFiles/static/favicon.svg to override current SVG. This can be used to change any images/icons/css/fonts/js etc in Stirling-PDF

- User must have the folder ./configs volumed within docker so that it is retained during updates.
- The environment variable 'login.enabled' must be set to true
- The environment variables "INITIAL_USERNAME" and "INITIAL_PASSWORD" must also be populated (only required on first boot to create initial user, ignored after.)
One the above has been done on restart a new stirling-pdf-DB.mv.db will show if everything worked.
To add new users go to bottom of Account settings and hit 'Admin Settings', here you can add new users. The different roles mentioned within this are for rate limiting. This is a Work in progress which will be expanding on more in future
