Inksign v0.2.1

Open a Word (.docx) or Markdown file straight into signing — Inksign converts it automatically, no separate Prepare step.

Inksign v0.2.0

Prepare a document, then sign it

New in 0.2.0 — build the document you need to sign, all on your machine:

• Combine PDFs — merge several into one, in the order you choose.
• Split a PDF — extract pages (e.g. 1-3,5) into a new file, or burst every page into its own.
• Markdown & Word → PDF — convert a .md or .docx into a clean, signable PDF (headings, styled text, lists, tables, images).
• A Prepare button in the header opens these tools; each result opens straight into signing.
• Remove signing identities from the app (previously only via the CLI).

Prepared files are ordinary, unsigned PDFs you then seal with the usual signature — nothing here touches your keys, and no file ever leaves your machine.

Install

System	File	Install
Debian / Ubuntu	Inksign-amd64.deb	sudo dpkg -i Inksign-amd64.deb
Fedora / openSUSE	Inksign-x86_64.rpm	sudo dnf install ./Inksign-x86_64.rpm

An AppImage build is in the works.

Inksign v0.1.0

Inksign — sign PDFs on your own machine. Your keys never leave it.

This is the first public release. Signing works end to end — software and TPM-backed
identities, standards-based PAdES signatures, all local.

Download

Your system	File	Install
Debian / Ubuntu	Inksign-amd64.deb	Download, then double-click (or sudo dpkg -i Inksign-amd64.deb).
Fedora / RHEL / openSUSE	Inksign-x86_64.rpm	Download, then double-click (or sudo dnf install ./Inksign-x86_64.rpm).

Either way, Inksign then appears in your app menu — search "Inksign" and open it. Your
existing keys are picked up automatically; open a PDF, place your signature, and seal it.

Coming next

• AppImage (any distro, no install) — the universal build needs a sandbox fix for
  Ubuntu 24.04's AppArmor policy before it's a smooth experience. Coming soon.

Good to know

• Local-first. Nothing is uploaded and no telemetry is sent. Your private key can live
  in software, your TPM, or a hardware token, and never leaves your machine.
• Verify anywhere. Received a signed PDF? Check it in your browser at
  inksign.org/v — the file is verified locally, never uploaded.
• Pre-1.0. Expect rough edges; please report anything via the
  issue tracker. Security
  reports: see SECURITY.md.
