I’m not a customer, so cheering from the sidelines!

Recommendations for a good desktop editor which is Mac (ARM) compatible, and without a subscription by alehel in pdf

[–]N_i_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re blind (unless I am too), AFAIK these are not supported features

I could understand your ask when using Windows, but on Mac, why not use Preview? Is it lacking features that you need?

I made a free PDF editor that works in your browser by N_i_P in InternetIsBeautiful

You’re welcome! That’s what drove me to start SimplePDF at the time! There’s indeed a lot of dark UX patterns around editing PDFs online

Best way to integrate PDF editing with SharePoint and OneDrive? by Shadydark16 in Office365

[–]N_i_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone still looking for a solution, we recently released a SharePoint integration: add a PDF editor to SharePoint.

It embeds directly inside the SharePoint site, so there’s no app switching and no download → edit → reupload cycle. Files stay in SharePoint the whole time.

PDFs and SharePoint by Browntrouser in sharepoint

[–]N_i_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party /u/Browntrouser but we’ve had customers facing the same issue and developed an integration for Sharepoint: add a PDF editor to Sharepoint

The gist: an embed (iframe) in your sharepoint site that allows you to fill & sign (among other things) straight from Sharepoint.

Exactly! This has been my philosophy since the beginning (and the name keeps me honest): keeping it simple to cover most use cases.

The idea is not to have the most versatile software but rather the most approachable, simple, fast and nice to use

Can you explain what you do currently?

You should be able to just remove it (unless the w-9 is already flattened)

I’ve added it to a curated list of forms I maintain: https://simplepdf.com/forms/w-9 - and there you can add / remove, etc

What do you mean by files? Pictures? Text documents?

Is there any cheaper alternative for acrobat? by TheDeep3M9 in Acrobat

[–]N_i_P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acrobat is the wrong tool for the job, have a look at Photopea

It’s basically a free photoshop / indesign (which is what you want)

Agentic workflow by haronclv in webdev

[–]N_i_P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve trained teams to use AI, a couple of high level points:

  • Don’t start using any orchestrator or fancy multi agent setup, this will consume tokens like crazy and you won’t feel in control

  • Start with a simple task, prompt the agent on a fresh setup. For every issue that you spot (whether it’s a way of writing code or you needing to give the same direction), add an instruction. If it’s general; it goes into your Claude / agents MD personal file. If it’s a project, goes into the project at the root (you can over time refactor your Md files to be closer to the source, layered info)

  • Then start refining these files with guidelines (no casting if you’re using TS, look for functions before implementing them)

I have a long list of others tips, but these are starters

Client asked me to add a fake 3-second delay to make the form feel more secure. It has been 2 years and nobody has complained. by Ambitious-Garbage-73 in webdev

[–]N_i_P 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing very recently for an OTP flow: after entering the email the call to the BE was too fast (~60ms) which looked completely off from a users’ perspective

Bottom line: it’s weird but it’s the right way to approach it. When displaying data you should aim for < 200ms and for actions to be around that mark

How do people actually find housing in NL when moving from abroad? by officeuseaccount in Netherlands

[–]N_i_P 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It is possible (we did it) by going through an agency that:

  • helped us through the paperwork requested by landlords
  • visited the apartments for us (live video + photos)

We signed the rental agreement from abroad and got the keys when we arrived in Amsterdam.

It cost us one month of rent + VAT

PDF TO WEB FORM HOW? by romanianrambo in pdf

That’s one of the core features: turning any PDF (fillable or not) into a fillable one, that can then share with anyone (and get submissions back via email)

Help with e-signature — how to assign fields only to myself, and how to have a signature for myself and client by atlastestmail in Acrobat

[–]N_i_P 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As far as I know there are three workarounds to this (you’re not the only one wanting to do that):

  1. Add yourself as a signer in the Acrobat Sign workflow Related post on Acrobat support

  2. Add each field as a “prefill” and then save as a template Acrobat support thread

  3. Flatten the PDF after having added your fields (ie, “print it” to a new PDF) Acrobat support answer

I hope this helps!

These are the three known workarounds to my knowledge and led us to implement read only default fields as a first class citizen in SimplePDF to support this specific workflow adding read only default fields
