About Stirling-PDF
Stirling-PDF is hardening its desktop app while commercializing a metered, AI-billed SaaS.
Stirling-PDF is shipping fast on two fronts. The open-source desktop app keeps hardening, with hardware-token signing, multi-window, memory-efficient merge/split via JPDFium, and broad package distribution, while a parallel SaaS effort adds pay-as-you-go billing for AI and automation, MCP support, and org-wide policy enforcement. A v2 UI rework, files on the left and tools on the right, runs through recent releases.
