Thanks for sharing! It looks like the pdfreaders campaign has actually ended and the site is no longer updated, so I’m not sure it’s still being maintained as a resource.


It doesn’t support editing outlines yet, but it’s definitely possible and something I plan to look into. I don’t think it should be too hard to add.


Would be awesome! The only free PDF editor that works on linux to support that currently is PDF4QT. If you accept PRs I'd be happy to contribute too.


That’s great to hear, contributions are very welcome! If you’re interested in working on outline editing, feel free to open a discussion or draft PR and we can figure out the best way to integrate it.


Thanks! Glad to hear it’s working well on Firefox for Android.


Thanks for letting me know, that was related to a Firefox-specific issue I’ve just fixed. Annotations and redaction should now work in Linux + Firefox as well as Chromium.


Very easy, this already works! In the AnnotationLayer you can add your own `selectionMenu` and render any custom component there. If you want to dive deeper, join our Discord and shoot me a message. https://discord.gg/mHHABmmuVU


Yes, those commercial PDF SDKs charge crazy prices! Time to change that.


Haha fair, but PDFium's under Apache 2.0, so at least the “cartel” in this case is about as open-license as it gets.


Huh?

This is not related to the LICENSE, it is related to the technical dependency on a whatng cartel web engine (geeko/blink/webkit).


Yes, all of the above. The client-side PDF viewer will remain free and MIT-licensed, but I’ll be focusing on offering PDF hosting with enterprise features like analytics, access controls etc, those will be part of the paid offering.


Thanks! Glad to hear it’s running smoothly on mobile, the rendering on iOS in particular feels really fast.


That means a lot to me, thank you!
