Notes from the workshop.

Occasional dispatches on PDF productivity, native engineering, and the case for offline, privacy-first software.

WYSIWYG editing, PDF Compare, automated Flows, PDF to Excel, improved Word conversion, PDF/A-2a, better compression and more.

Auto redaction, find and replace, a multi-tabbed viewer, auto save, three new themes, and more, now on Android and iOS.

The journey of writing a privacy-first, high-performance native PDF editor 10× smaller than the industry standard.

Why a native, C++-powered offline editor is a game-changer for Linux document productivity.

In an era of cloud processing, document privacy is under threat. Why processing PDFs locally isn't just a feature, it's a necessity.

Free local OCR for scanned PDFs, two methods, and a confidence score. RevPDF does not automatically upload the file to its servers for OCR.

What truly offline means, why it matters for privacy and reliability, and the airplane-mode test most PDF editors fail.
