PlutarchPages is a PDF reader and editor written in Rust, and a fork of PdfCraft. This is its first release. It includes upstream PdfCraft as of 30 October 2026.

What the fork adds

  • Stricter security. Fixes for upstream's Document Open password, copy permission and redaction issues. Redaction refuses, and changes nothing, when content under the marks is also used where the marks don't reach. An empty password never skips the prompt or lifts restrictions. CSV exports write formula-like cells as text.
  • More ways to create PDFs. From CSV, Markdown and email. Office files and web pages work through an installed LibreOffice, Chrome or Edge; these converters are off by default and aren't sandboxed, so use them only on files and pages you trust.
  • More tools. Read Out Loud, bookmark colours and styles, extra PDF Optimizer options, grayscale conversion and export to Excel.
  • A new colour scheme, used across the interface and the app icon.

Fork changes has the full list, including what isn't implemented and why.

Downloads

System Download
Windows pdfcraft-0.15.0-windows-x64.msi, also x86 and arm64, or a -portable.zip
macOS pdfcraft-0.15.0-macos-universal.dmg
Linux .AppImage, .deb, .rpm or .tar.gz, for x86_64 and aarch64
Command line only pdfcraft-cli-0.15.0-*, for Linux and macOS

Files, programs and settings folders keep the upstream pdfcraft name, so upstream changes still merge. The app shows its name as PlutarchPages.

Flatpak, Arch, FreeBSD, riscv64 and web packages aren't built yet.

Before you install

  • The packages are unsigned, so Windows and macOS may warn about or block them. To check a download against SHA256SUMS.txt:

    sha256sum --check --ignore-missing SHA256SUMS.txt

  • Don't install it alongside upstream PdfCraft on Windows. The 2 share some registry entries, because both use pdfcraft.exe, so this isn't supported.

  • Installing over an earlier build hasn't been tested, because this is the first release.
