  • Allow me to quote myself:

    While Stirling PDF and PdfDing are both self-hosted web applications centered around PDF files, they still differ in their use case. Stirling PDF focuses on performing various operations like splitting, ropping and rotating on your PDFs. PdfDing however has a different focus, it is all about reading and organizing your PDFs. All features are added with the goal of improving the reading experience or making the management of your PDF collection simpler. PdfDing’s editing functionalities were added with the same idea in mind. You can add annotations, highlighting and drawings to PDFs, so that you can highlight or add information that will be beneficial to your reading experience.













  • It depends on you use case. Stirling PDF focuses on performing various operations like splitting, cropping and rotating on your PDFs. PdfDing has a different focus, it is all about reading and organizing your PDFs. I started this project because I wanted a web app where I can read longer PDFs seamlessly on my desktop and mobile devices.

    The newly added editing features were implemented with the aim of improving the reading experience. If I find something important I can add an annotation or highlight something. When studying you can add free hand notes to your files.

    I hope that helps in differentiating the two applications.
