v2.1.0: 2.1.0 Fully Open-Source PDF Text Editor!
Compare Source
We are very happy to announce that we have open-sourced our PDF text editor!
With this you will be able to edit the existing text on PDFs and add/move images.
Whilst we are very proud of this feature and to release it to the open source community, it is an alpha version with its own quirks and issues. Do not expect perfect editing.
This is however, a foundation for what is to come and it can only improve from here!
The writer has two modes, single line mode and paragraph mode, both have their pros and cons so give it a try!
Other changes in this release:
- General SSO has moved into our SERVER plan from our enterprise plan
- Get all info on PDF feature added!
Bug fixes:
- Bug fixes for Convert to/from PDF erroring for multiple files
- Bug fix for SSO buttons not showing/linking correctly

This is a hotfix release to fix issues identified in our v2.0.0 release (Please check here if you wish to see the notes on that)

v2.0.0: 2.0 A true Acrobat Competitor release!
Compare Source
Stirling PDF V2, our complete open-source replacement to Adobe Acrobat, is now live!
Version 2 has been a year in the making but brings a full redesign of the app, along with the most requested changes from the community over the past year.
Highlights
- Brand new and quick UI with lots of polish to allow easy context switching
- Files can now move between operations, Upload a file once and perform multiple operations on it without requiring reuploads
- Undo, redo and complete version history for all files changed
- Native desktop applications with full "open with" functionality finally being a true desktop replacement for other PDF apps
- Allowing split deployments with a separated frontend and backend
- Complete System setting customisation from within UI so admins can customise all settings without interacting with server config files
- Desktop to server linkage so you can have a desktop experience whilst having the performance of a server for a hybrid experience
-
Text editing (alpha), Basic PDF text editing is now available as an early-access feature for paid users. It’s still alpha and will improve over time.
Licensing and pricing
- We’re introducing a new, unlimited-seat SERVER tier for the lowest price in the industry. Key details:
- Unlimited seats
- PDF Text Editing
- Full admin control
-
$99/server/month or $1000/server/year
- Going forward, our open-core license will be enforced: individual users and teams up to 5 users can fully use Stirling PDF for free; organisations with more than 5 users will need a license.
- All existing users are grandfathered. If you’ve been with us up to this point, you should see no change in what you can use today. To access new features or make new changes to your users you can quickly upgrade in your Admin Settings.
Migration
Due to this being a major release, any production deployments should consider backing up their config directory before deploying this change
Please note that with this large update and introduction of several new pieces of functionality there may be rough edges.
If you run into issues please
- open a GitHub issue, or
- drop into Discord and let us know!
Our team will also be working to updating our github branching, documentation and various other artifacts over the next few days so please let us know if we miss anything or if you have questions!

Our major feature changes this release include
- New PDF to Vector image conversion
- Extract attachments feature
- Enhanced get info for clearer UI and extra information
Some notable other changes are
- Fixed bug causing large file sizes in multi-tool

For V1.0.0 Release notes please check here https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/releases/tag/v1.0.0
Docker only:
This v1.0.1 contains a Quick fix for the flag changing from DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=true to DISABLE_ADDITIONAL_FEATURES=false
This fix allows both flags to work without issue to avoid config compatibility issues with older versions
Previously, users not using DISABLE_ADDITIONAL_FEATURES=false And using latest label not latest-fat would face security jar download issues.
This is a good time to remind users, Anyone using the account system is recommended to use latest-fat tag to get the best experience!

v1.0.0: 1.0.0 Release! lots of new features!
Compare Source
V1.0.0 Release is here!
This release is actually part of a stepping stone into V2.0.0 release coming in a few months with a branch new UI and feel!
This release includes lots of new features and changes the main changes of note are
- EML(email) to PDF Feature added
- Table of Contents editing feature added
- Fake Scan page feature added to convert a PDF to look like its been scanned (WIP, may be removed)
- OCR and Compression back to using OCRMyPDF and Ghostscript for advanced PDF operations
- Added tmp file manager to ensure all files are cleared even in event of crashes
- Add file attachments to PDF feature added
For pro users, we have some additional changes, suggest you backup your /configs folder before testing v1.0.0
- Audit logs
- Team support with team management
As part of this release, there is also a slight license change. The core package remains MIT and fully open source, but we have created a 'proprietary' folder to store our 'Pro' features, such as audit/team functionality and account creation etc, which will be under a different license. This is only for our paid features and account creations.
If you are not using accounts, you remain fully open source, and we have ensured these can be fully decoupled for users who do wish only to use OSS. If you are using accounts, don't worry, no negative changes to functionality are introduced in this MR you can continue using as you would expect
There are also a lot of minor fixes and changes throughout the UI and backend in this release, including future support for async operations, progress updates and other features coming to V2! Stay tuned!
