PdfCraft is a free, open-source PDF tool (billed as a "PDF workbench"), written from scratch in Rust, focused on reading, organizing, combining, splitting and securing PDFs.
What it lets you do:
- Read any PDF comfortably: crisp rendering, fast paging, full-text search, select-and-copy text.
- Organize pages like cards on a table: rotate, delete, reorder, extract, merge multiple PDFs or split one — "without losing a thing."
- Protect and collaborate: open password/permission-protected documents and respect their rules, add comments and threaded notes, fill forms, and manage layers and attachments.
Product highlights:
- No account, no telemetry: sign up for nothing, upload nothing — private by design; native pure Rust, fast even on big PDFs.
- Agent-drivable via MCP for automated PDF handling.
Team & tech: built by the community ArtCraft team (GitHub user storytold, site getartcraft.com); the Craft series is 100% pure Rust, an independent open-source work unaffiliated with any third-party commercial software.
Platforms: macOS, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and the web.
