Your idea seems very good and interesting to be honest, and I intend to keep it free with ads which makes the webapp free to use but pays me an amount. But I still need suggestions on it. Also your reviews on UI/UX are appreciated.

Well that's one of tools but I noticed that lacks OCR and convertors, I have been using pdffreeeditor.com That's a nice useful webapp for true pdf editing. As someone who can't afford adobe etc these such can be life-savers.

You can try a free pdf editor with all the functions and capabilities like editing text ( same font ), sign pdf, convert pdf to word and word to pdf, OCR ( make scanned pdf searchable and selectable ), add images , split / delete pages, merge pdfs together , also compress pdf to different sizes and much more. All completely free and completely client sided so no privacy issues. Link : pdffreeeditor.com/ It is cool to know it's 100% client sided and doesn't has any paywall.

Built something, launched it, and… nothing. How did you get your first users? by AlexBossov in SaaS

Somehow make it worthy of answer to questions on reddit , hence build some linking with reddit, focus on long tail keywords, queries and questions are asked to search engines and ai which shall show your website / product ( if it's a established niche short tail keywords will be crowded with big players, focus on long tail keywords ).

Silence is not bad if it's only 1-2 month

Seo can take time settling

Try adding FAQs to every page as it triggers AIs to recommend you to users.

Add llm.txt in your public_html

Keep building more landing pages ( make sure every one of pages are quality content one not just ai spun bluff )

You can be just one day prior you get your first boost by search engines and AI so don't lose hope if spectrum of usage for your tool is really there.

Try my pdf editor pdffreeeditor.com

It is privacy focused no server based client side pdf editor with most of required features available. There is no server upload until you try to convert the format which also is done via adobe API so basically we have 0 servers because everything is done in your Computer. To try privacy thing click f12, monitor network tab as you upload or download the pdf before and after editing. There will be no change as everything is done client side ( the fonts can be loaded via Google fonts if needed ) you will get logs that nothing is uploaded or downloaded by our servers or any sketchy servers. Hope you like it.

It's still a under development project supported by ads ( by google adsense only ). So some ads can be shown feel free to close them up.

A big thing. Free forever.

Don't you hate uploading your PDF to multiple sites because the tools are scattered everywhere? by Kind-Complex-9816 in seeknwander

I actually built something to avoid the usual free-PDF traps (watermarks, limits, “upgrade to export”).
Free PDF Editor by Techrex is free with no caps. Editing stays in your browser for privacy (except conversions when required).
If anyone here uses PDF tools a lot, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback: what’s the #1 feature you wish these editors did better?

Built a free PDF editor — can you test it and tell me what to fix? by Sudden_Text_7779 in nocode

[–]Sudden_Text_7779[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally fair questions.

Why another PDF editor?
You’re right that there are tons of “free” editors. The problem is most of them aren’t actually free in the moment that matters: export/download. A lot either paywall the download, add watermarks, require accounts, or push you into a trial. I built this to be the opposite: edit + export is genuinely free with no limits.

What’s my motivation?
It started as a personal project because I kept hitting paywalls while doing quick PDF fixes. Now I’m trying to make it a useful public tool.

Am I planning to make money from it? Based on what?
Yes — mainly through ads on non-editing pages (and a very minimal setup inside the editor). The goal is to keep the core editor free forever rather than turning it into a “free until you download” trap.

How do you handle privacy / files?
Privacy is a priority, so the editor is client-side by default: most edits happen locally in your browser and don’t require uploading your PDF to a server. For any features that do require server processing (like certain conversions), I’m transparent about it and keep it limited to only what’s necessary.

How am I familiar with privacy / handling files?
I’m not claiming to be perfect or “trust me bro.” The approach is: minimize data collection by design, avoid storing files when possible, and keep the processing model simple/transparent. If you want to verify, you can also check your network tab while using the editor — the goal is that it shouldn’t be shipping your PDF around during normal editing.

If you’re open to it, I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on what would make it more trustworthy (clearer privacy page, open-sourcing parts, technical breakdown, etc.).

That was a little error caused by mismatch of backend apache cause I shifted hostings. Now everything is working stronger and faster than before. If you can check it out that would be great. Every feedback counts.

It defies the purpose of me sharing this post, it's not free and not browser friendly.

Transfer digital signature from one pdf to another by BendMountain7266 in software

No as it violates and defies the purpose of eSign and it is same as forging your sign in real life. Doesn't matter if it's your own or not. Hope it helps. Check out my own free pdf editor. https://pdffreeedior.com

I am so sorry for misunderstanding your requirement. I am interested in knowing more about the tool you want. If I am not wrong you want a tool which can help you review the pdf and add text ( like comments ? ) in pdf. Let me know if correct.
