Paperdesk PDF 1.1.0

Paperdesk PDF 1.1.0 adds recovery, protected drafts, final-output review, and everyday PDF tools.

Choose Paperdesk-PDF-Setup-1.1.0.exe for an installer with a Start menu shortcut, or Paperdesk-PDF-1.1.0.exe to run portably.

• Recover interrupted edits from Windows-encrypted snapshots and restore the previous five saved versions of a workspace.
• Save a portable workspace with an optional password. Existing ordinary-JSON workspaces still open; use Tools → Protect workspace to convert a draft.
• Preview the actual final PDF with page-specific blank-field, signing and date prompts. Export checks readable field fit and prevents manually placed answers from extending past page edges.
• Review and export packets together. All selected documents are prepared before any final is changed; failed commits roll back. An export manifest records filenames, modes and SHA-256 hashes. View-only documents are explicitly labeled as original copies.
• Print current answers and marks, extract/reorder/rotate pages, and append PDFs to a separate flattened copy. Save-first prompts protect the editable draft before switching to an arranged document.
• Recognize English text from scans locally with the bundled OCR engine/model. Copy recognized text, save it in a workspace and search it inside Paperdesk. OCR does not embed a searchable text layer in exported PDFs and can contain recognition mistakes.
• Larger controls, a smaller-window layout, keyboard focus handling, reduced-motion support, a Windows app icon, a user-initiated update check, and automated Windows build/release checks.
• Printing includes a way to end a session if Windows leaves it pending after cancellation. Printed pages are rendered images at up to 144 DPI.

Verified with 59 automated tests, 5 browser workflow tests, synthetic Windows-app checks and rendered PDF inspection. The Windows installer is built but has not been installed in a clean test account; accessibility checks do not constitute screen-reader certification.

Privacy and compatibility: These downloads contain only the application and bundled public resources. No personal PDFs, workspaces, pasted information, saved signatures or initials are included. Recovery/history use Windows account encryption. Ordinary JSON workspaces and exported PDFs retain their existing protection unless you explicitly protect the workspace. Passwords cannot be recovered by Paperdesk. Flattened PDFs remain editable with other PDF software.

Publisher signing: These binaries are unsigned. Windows may display a publisher warning. Signing support is configured, but a verified certificate/provider credential must be supplied separately. See docs/RELEASING.md in the source repository. SHA-256 hashes are provided in SHA256SUMS.txt.

Paperdesk PDF 1.0.5

Paperdesk PDF 1.0.5 is a portable Windows app. Download the EXE and run it; no account or installer is required.

• Flattened exports now stop with a clear field name if an answer cannot fit readably, instead of silently hiding lines. Shorter multiline entries are fitted and centered.
• Open a folder as a packet, review forms in order, see blank-field and signing prompts, and export marked forms as clearly named flattened PDFs into one Final PDFs folder.
• Batch-filled PDFs can now be flattened for sharing (selected by default).
• “Save first” now completes the action you were trying to take after the save succeeds.
• Search finds phrases split across PDF text pieces, and fillable signature dates are matched by row instead of by vertical distance alone.
• Saved signatures and initials use Windows user encryption. Existing signature libraries migrate on first use. File saves use a temporary file and replace the destination only after the write completes.

Your PDFs, editable workspaces, pasted data, signatures, and initials are not included in this download. Existing .paperdesk.json workspaces remain compatible and contain their PDF and entered details in ordinary JSON, so keep them in a private location. The visual signatures are not certificate-backed digital signatures. The EXE is unsigned, so Windows may show a publisher warning.

Verified with 51 automated tests, a synthetic two-form packet in the Windows app, and rendered PDF output. SHA-256: CDA847A709E41ED0171974D05EDF3EF56107E45983A53FD0643B2802E95AE777.

Paperdesk PDF 1.0.4

Portable Windows PDF viewer and form editor. Open PDFs, fill existing fields, add text and checkmarks, save editable workspaces, and export flattened final PDFs. This version includes saved signatures and initials, signature/date placement, caregiver initials support for multi-page reports, and bulk-fill mapping.

Download Paperdesk-PDF-1.0.4.exe and run it directly on Windows. No installer or account is required. The EXE is unsigned, so Windows may display a publisher warning.

Your PDFs, workspaces, signatures, initials, and pasted data are kept locally. No personal documents or user data are included in this release.
