Description

PdfDing is a self-hosted PDF manager, viewer and editor. It keeps a PDF collection organised across devices and remembers your reading position, so you can continue where you left off on any screen.

Key Features

• Seamless browser-based PDF viewing on desktop and mobile, remembering the last reading position
• Workspaces, collections, multi-level tagging, starring and archiving
• Editing: add text, highlights and drawings to PDFs
• Store and reuse signatures across devices
• Manage and export highlights and comments in dedicated sections
• Share collections and PDFs by link or QR code, with optional access control
• Markdown notes, per-PDF reading progress bars and bulk actions
• SSO via OIDC plus two-factor authentication (TOTP and WebAuthn)

Why Use It

PdfDing is deliberately minimal and fast: one small Docker deploy gives you sync-free PDF reading, annotation and sharing without a cloud account.

Use Cases

• Personal PDF library and reading queue
• Annotating papers, manuals and e-books
• Sharing documents with colleagues or friends via links
