Bug fix release.

Clicking a web link inside a PDF used to open that website inside No Bloat PDF itself, replacing the viewer and taking over the window until the app was forced closed. Reported in the field by a user who clicked a court-filing link and found every PDF afterwards reopening to the same website.

What changed:

  • Web links in documents now open in your default browser, the way you would expect.
  • The viewer window can no longer navigate away from the app at all, as a second layer of protection enforced by the native shell.

If this ever happened to you: end the No Bloat PDF task in Task Manager once (or restart your machine) and update. No reinstall is needed and nothing on your machine was changed by the bug.

Page editing, and two fixes that were quietly costing people work.

Page editing

Open the Pages panel and you can now select pages and delete, reorder, copy, or export them, then save the result back into the PDF.

  • Right-click a page for the menu, or select and press Delete
  • Right-clicking a page outside the selection selects it, the way a file manager does
  • Every change is undoable before you save
  • Cut, copy, and paste pages, and drag to reorder
  • Export a selection as a new PDF, which defaults to a new filename so it can never overwrite the document you carved it out of

Fixes

External links never opened. "Visit NoBloatPDF.com", "Buy me a coffee", and "Check for Updates" all did nothing. The app had permission to run the open-URL command but no permission for any URL, so every call was rejected, and the failure was being swallowed silently. Those links now work, and a failure surfaces instead of looking like a dead button.

Unsaved work could vanish without warning. The close prompt only ever checked bookmark edits. Annotations, signatures, and page changes were discarded silently when closing a tab, closing the window, or switching tabs. All three now warn first.

The Windows installer is signed with a Microsoft-verified publisher identity (Brian Galvan) and installs per user, so no admin rights are needed. The macOS builds are Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple, and both were verified on macOS 15 and macOS 26 by installing the DMG and confirming a real PDF renders.

Also available with winget install nobloatpdf.

Still zero network calls. Still 4.6 MB. Still MIT.
