  • Seamless browser based PDF viewing on multiple devices
  • Dark Mode, colored themes and custom theme colors
  • Inverted color mode for reading PDFs
  • Remembers current position - continue where you stopped reading
  • SSO support via OIDC
  • Share PDFs with an external audience via a link or a QR Code
  • Shared PDFs can be password protected and access can be controlled with a maximum number of views and an expiration date
  • Automated and encrypted backups to S3 compatible storage

I would be very happy if you wold give PdfDing a try. If you like it, be sure to leave a star :)

    PdfDing has a totally different use case than stirling-pdf. stirling-pdf is for manupilating PDF files, in contrast the PdfDing is for viewing and managing PdfFiles.

    There are also self-hostable ebook readers, but they (at least the ones I have tried) don’t allow individual users to upload their own files. Usually there is an admin curating the content. Also sharing content with an external audience is difficult.
