A web app makes it cross platform. If you have a homelab, deploy it only once for every client.
And PDFtk doesn’t do annotations afaik which is a huge pain point on Linux (at least for me) because there are no applications that I know of to easily do things that are trivial on OSX like adding text or hand drawn signatures to PDFs. Masterpdf can do it but with a watermark and some limitations.
Maybe it doesn’t suit your particular use case but I wouldn’t say pdftk can replace this project.
- adrenvi 3y agoFirefox now has some simple built-in PDF editing tools. Text and images can be added on top, but existing text can't be modified.
- subtra3t 3y agoI think edge would be perfect for you
- ornornor 3y agoEdge the browser?
- subtra3t 3y agoYes, its pdf editor is very good.
- throwaway2037 3y agoWoah. Very cool. Is this something specific to Microsoft Edge, or also available in other Chromium variants, including Chrome?
- plugin-baby 3y ago> no applications that I know of to easily do things that are trivial on OSX like adding text or hand drawn signatures to PDFs Try xournal++
- jraph 3y agoXournal++ was already mentionned, Okular also has annotations and I think adding hand drawn signatures. Though I welcome (new) work in this area.
- throwaway2037 3y agoXournal++ is amazing for annotating PDFs. I use it to file taxes where fillable PDFs and e-filing don't work as expected.
