Local-first PDF editor — macOS app, Windows installer, Chrome extension.
Documents never leave your machine.

macOS: this release fixes "OpenPdfEdit is damaged and can't be opened."
The v0.1.2 app bundle was never code-signed, and macOS reports a broken
signature as "damaged" — a dead end whose only button was Move to Bin.
The bundle is now properly signed and sealed. It still isn't notarized
(that needs a paid Apple Developer account), so the first launch shows
"Apple could not verify…": open it once via System Settings → Privacy
& Security → Open Anyway
, or run
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenPdfEdit.app.

  • Find in document (⌘F, ⌘G to step) with match-case and whole-word,
    a results list, and highlighted matches. Finds phrases across line
    wraps, so searching "termination clause" works even where the layout
    breaks it over two lines.
  • Contents panel — the document's own bookmarks, with the section
    you're reading highlighted, and a page position in the toolbar.
  • Flatten — bake markup, and optionally filled form values, into the
    page so they can't be moved, hidden or deleted by whoever you send it
    to.
  • Import/export XFDF — your comments as a small file without the
    document, readable by Acrobat, Foxit, Xodo and PDF-XChange.
  • Page numbers and Bates numbering, with position, font, size,
    colour, prefix/suffix, start number and zero-padding.

All five work in the Chrome extension as well as the desktop app.

  • CI now runs the tests, formatting, clippy and the licence policy on
    macOS, Windows and Linux plus a wasm build — none of which ran before.
  • Linux bundling (.AppImage/.deb) is configured and built, though not
    yet a published download.
