Hello everyone,

As mentioned earlier in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/41783666, we lost access to our bentopdf Docker Hub account. Despite contacting Docker Hub support, the issue has remained unresolved for over 10 days. As a result, we have migrated to a new Docker Hub account.

The images under bentopdf/bentopdf are no longer maintained by us. The new official Docker Hub repository for BentoPDF is bentopdfteam/bentopdf.

Additionally, GHCR (GitHub Container Registry) is now our recommended container registry, and we have added support for Podman Quadlet.

Over the next few updates, we will be working on releasing the following features: • PDF to PDF/X conversion • Bates Numbering • PKCS#11 support • PDF text editing support

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Thank you for sharing this, and apologies for not posting it here sooner. I will update it as soon as I receive any responses.

Hello!

  1. Yes, its a local app
  2. Yes, it only concerns itself with PDF documents and conversions to and from PDF
  3. I have never used paperless so I am not really the best person to answer this, but I believe paperless is a document management system, and is designed for document ingestion and organization?

Bento on the other hand, is a full PDF Toolkit, that allows you to edit, compress, annotate, sign, redact, convert pdf to other formats and convert to pdf from other formats, converting pdf for ai ingestion etc. Basically everything related to PDFs. Hope that helps.

BentoPDF v1.16.0 (github.com)

Hi everyone. Hope you are well. BentoPDF recently hit 10k stars on Github in just under 3 months of launch and I am very grateful to the community! ❤️

BentoPDF's new version has been released. And I had implemented some of the requested feature here such as: Digital Signing of PDFs and Validation along with Email to PDF support and Deskewing of PDF. I have attached the release note link with the post. Moreover the OCR feature now performs on par with OCRMyPDF.

The reason I am making this post is gain feedback on the existing features of Bento, but most importantly Bento is going to have a Desktop version soon. Initially it will be launched for Mac users. Bento is inherently fast, but browsers and wasm have limitations, and this aims to solve it with the use of native libraries and leverage the CPU for faster processing and handling of large files efficiently.

I want to know what is the feature you use the most or is there any feature you'd like to be done that existing PDF softwares don't do well. I am happy for any feedback! Thank you (:

It's actually coming up in next release (: You will be able to sign with PKCS12, PFX and PEM certificates. And also validate them

Thank you! It started off as a simple tool as I wanted to merge PDFs visually by applying page ranges and I couldn't find any offline tool for that. I happened to then post it on reddit, and people asked me to open source it. After which I kept adding features on request and here we are 😂

[-] alam@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

It has almost all the features of Acrobat except for the text editing, which i will be adding soon

[-] alam@lemmy.world 91 points 1 month ago

Yes! It performs true redaction. You can find it in the editor tool

[-] alam@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

wow, that's great to know

[-] alam@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

There are no accounts or signup. All the processing happens locally in your browser. In fact, you can even use it offline once the page is loaded, and only you have access to the PDFs

Glad it helped!

Hi folks!

I’m the creator of BentoPDF. It is an open source PDF toolkit that runs entirely in your browser. Your documents stay private, by design.

BentoPDF started as a small side project, but over time it has grown into something much bigger. With our latest major update, BentoPDF now includes 100+ tools, all running fully client-side.

You can do the basics like merge PDFs(while preserving bookmarks), split documents, extract or delete pages, reorder files, rotate pages, and compress PDFs. Thee are also some advanced tools.

You can edit and annotate PDFs directly in the browser: highlight text, add comments, draw shapes, insert images, fill(including XFA) and create forms, manage bookmarks, generate tables of contents, redact, add headers, footers, watermarks, and page numbers.

BentoPDF also supports an extensive range of file conversions. You can convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenOffice, Pages, CSV, RTF, EPUB, MOBI, comic book formats, and many more into PDFs, and also convert PDFs back into Word, Excel, images, Markdown, CSV, JSON, and plain text.

For images, BentoPDF supports a massive variety of formats, including HEIC, WebP, SVG, PSD, JP2, and and aalso other formats such as EPUB, CBR/CBZ. You can convert images to PDFs, extract images from PDFs in their original format, or rasterize PDFs with full DPI control.

There are also organization and optimization tools: OCR, PDF/A conversion, booklet creation, N-up layouts, page division, attachment management, layer (OCG) editing, metadata inspection and editing, repair tools, and advanced compression algorithms that rival commercial solutions.

The latest update also includes AI ready extraction tools to export PDFs to structured JSON, extract tables as CSV/Markdown/JSON, and prepare PDFs for RAG and LLM workflows.

All of this works entirely in the browser, without accounts, uploads, or tracking.

This is my first post here and I hope you like it. Any feedback or feature requests are appreciated. Thank you.
