Hi,

over the last six months I have been building PdfDing. You can find it on github.

PdfDing is a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. Some of its features include:

  • Remembers current position - continue where you stopped reading on any device
  • Edit PDFs by adding annotations, highlighting and drawings
  • Share PDFs with an external audience via a link or a QR Code. Shared PDFs can be access controlled
  • Dark Mode, colored themes and custom theme colors
  • Inverted color mode for reading PDFs
  • SSO support via OIDC
  • Markdown Notes

The project is built using Django, Alpine JS, htmx, Tailwind CSS and Mozilla's pdf.js.

If you like PdfDing please consider giving the project a star on github. If anyone wants to contribute you are welcome to do so!

The project is using mozilla's pdf.js library for displaying pdfs (this is also used for firefox's build in pdf reader). As far as I am aware it should be able to work with (allmost) all pdf files.
