This looks interesting, I’m looking for a good personal PDF editor that I can use in windows and private.
Seems like your product is more for organizations, any idea if such a thing exists. It seems like the market is full of bloated (Adobe/foxit) or not properly working editors.
We offer both:
- A privacy-focused PDF editor, free for individuals, used by 200k users monthly: https://simplepdf.com/editor
- The same editor, embeddable into one’s app for companies, with the same privacy guarantees (everything happens in the browser) + the resulting PDF is stored in their own storage (« bring your own storage »).
The majority of our paid customers are in healthcare where privacy is non-negotiable. Co-pilot extends that to the AI world (« bring your own AI »)
What are you using the PDF editor for?
I hope this doesn't sound insulting but how is this different than Preview or Adobe Acrobat?
Absolutely not insulting! In fact an excellent question!
Preview was an inspiration when I started SimplePDF, my goal was to make the "Preview" of the web, so that people without a Mac would benefit from a software matching Preview in ease of use and overall polish.
Adobe Acrobat: SimplePDF has "Simple" in the name as the philosophy is to keep it simple (both in ease of use, and features): I don't intend to support everything that Adobe Acrobat does. There's a lot of features that I could build that I intentionally do not, as they would bloat the UI and hard the overall usability. Most people have very simple needs and don't need advanced features (like scripting, etc).
