  • Hello. BentoPDF does provide a GUI for operations like the ones you mentioned. However, the main goal of Bento was to bring capabilities that traditionally only exist in backend or native tools, such as Ghostscript, qpdf, LibreOffice, PyMuPDF, and similar stacks onto the web.

    Beyond that, there are many workflows that don’t translate well to a CLI at all such as drag and drop merging and organization, visual page manipulation, form creation, cropping, annotations, and text editing. These are hard to do reliably or efficiently in a terminal, and not everyone uses or is comfortable working with CLI tools.

    So all the processing happens in the browser and you get a local hostable, OS agnostic tool without needing native dependencies installed on the system. Hope that somewhat clears your doubt

  • I would have been happy if you provided anything constructive. Calling it begging for reviews is certainly surprising for someone who claims the communication put them off. It’s interesting how much emphasis you place on tone and emojis for someone who says they’re less likely to engage because of them. Moreover I asked for feedback, not a character assessment. Your personal preference doesn’t change anything here, there’s nothing actionable in it, and I’m comfortable with how I communicate with the community

  • Most of our users are on Linux and Windows (:

  • My release notes are intentionally personal and opinionated. As the maintainer, I like sharing milestones, thoughts, and context with the community as part of showing how far the project has grown. I understand that style won’t appeal to everyone, but it’s a choice I’m comfortable with and I plan to keep it that way

  • Thank you. Hope it helps

  • I don't think there's any reason to switch if its fits your workflow/needs

  • Thank you !

  • Hello!

    1. Yes, its a local app
    2. Yes, it only concerns itself with PDF documents and conversions to and from PDF
    3. I have never used paperless so I am not really the best person to answer this, but I believe paperless is a document management system, and is designed for document ingestion and organization?

    Bento on the other hand, is a full PDF Toolkit, that allows you to edit, compress, annotate, sign, redact, convert pdf to other formats and convert to pdf from other formats, converting pdf for ai ingestion etc. Basically everything related to PDFs. Hope that helps.
