PdfDing
Self-hosted PDF manager, viewer and editor
PdfDing is an open-source, self-hosted application for managing, viewing and editing PDFs across devices. It remembers your last reading position so you can continue where you left off on another device, and keeps your files on your own infrastructure.
Organization features include workspaces, collections, multi-level tagging, starring and archiving. You can edit PDFs by adding text, highlighting and drawings, add signatures accessible across devices, and share collections or individual PDFs via link or QR code with optional access control. Authentication supports Single Sign-On through OIDC as well as Two-Factor Authentication using TOTP and WebAuthn. The interface offers dark mode, inverted color mode and multiple layouts, and the application is designed to be lightweight and easy to set up with Docker.
PdfDing is aimed at individuals and teams who want to self-host their PDF library. It is open source and self-hosted, with no vendor lock-in; the pages do not specify a free plan, trial or paid editions.
