BentoPDF joins the registry

2026-09-19 · 2.8.8:1

Privacy-first, in-browser PDF toolkit

# about

$ man bentopdf

BentoPDF is a browser-based PDF toolkit with 50+ tools for merging, splitting, editing, converting, signing, and OCR. All processing happens client-side in your browser — your files never leave your device. On StartOS, the libraries, fonts and OCR data BentoPDF would otherwise download from public CDNs come from your server; only OCR in a language outside the 18 bundled ones downloads its data from jsDelivr.

# releases

$ git log --oneline bentopdf

  • 2.8.11:02026-11-02Updates BentoPDF to 2.8.11, which adds measurement tools to the PDF editor, favorite tools, a redesigned page organizer, a new compression engine, and Catalan and Persian.
  • 2.8.10:02026-10-20Updates BentoPDF to 2.8.10, which fixes two security vulnerabilities, and adds Polish.
  • 2.8.8:22026-10-04Fixes OCR. In the 18 bundled languages it now runs entirely from your server, including the fonts for the searchable text it adds. If you used OCR before this update, clear BentoPDF’s site data in your browser once.
  • 2.8.8:12026-09-19OCR now runs locally for 18 languages — Arabic, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Ukrainian — with the recognition engine and language data bundled, so no CDN is contacted for them. Other OCR languages download their language data from jsdelivr on first use. Everything else is unchanged.
