bigaiguy · x · 2026-08-25
Recommends Stirling PDF as a self-hostable alternative to Acrobat Pro. It features 50+ tools (merge, split, sign, OCR, etc.), one-line Docker deployment, and REST APIs for automating document pipelines. Ideal for small law firms or individuals to handle sensitive documents locally. Note that it is open-core: core tools are free, while enterprise features like SSO are paid.
