Stirling-PDF

This is a locally hosted web application that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files, such as splitting and adding images.

Started off as a 100% ChatGPT made application, slowly moving away from that as more features are added

I will support and fix/add things to this if there is a demand Discord

Customize App

Stirling PDF allows easy customization of the visible application name. Simply use environment variables APP_HOME_NAME, APP_HOME_DESCRIPTION and APP_NAVBAR_NAME with Docker or Java. If running Java directly, you can also pass these as properties using -D arguments.

Using the same method you can also change the default language by providing APP_LOCALE with values like de-DE fr-FR or ar-AR to select your default language (Will always default to English on invalid locale)
