LocalPDF

Description

Edit PDF files on your computer. Nothing is uploaded: this extension has no permissions and no network access. LocalPDF is a PDF editor that keeps your documents on your computer. Files are never uploaded: the extension asks for no permissions and cannot connect to any website. Text recognition runs inside the extension too. What you can do: • Edit text in place: click a line or a word and retype it. Bold, italic and color carry over. • Remove text for real: replaced text is cut out of the saved file, not only covered. • Fill in forms, tick boxes, and sign with a drawn or typed signature. • Add text, pictures and form fields anywhere on a page. • Make scans searchable with offline text recognition in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Polish, Ukrainian and Russian. • Delete, rotate and reorder pages, and merge PDFs and pictures into one file. • Sign a page by hand: print that page alone, sign it, then put a scan or a phone photo of it in its place. A photo is straightened, cropped to the sheet and cleaned up. • Open password-protected PDFs, and keep the protection when saving. • Print, and copy a document's text as Markdown. • Get your work back after a browser crash. The interface is available in English, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano, Polski, Ukrainisch and Russian. How to use it: click the LocalPDF button in the toolbar, then choose a PDF or a picture. Save the result with Download. This is a beta. Check the result before you rely on it, and keep your originals. Some limits: • Text inside pictures and scans cannot be cut out, only covered, and the app warns you. • Edited text uses one of four standard fonts, so an unusual font will look different. • XFA forms and JavaScript in forms are not supported. • PDFs cannot be opened with a double-click in Windows; open them from the extension. LocalPDF is open source under the MIT licence. There is also a Windows app. Source code and issues: https://github.com/PuchBuch/LocalPDF
