[OPLINTECH] *External* Replacement for Adobe Acrobat Pro

[Karl Jendretzky]

Morning Jim,

We've been testing out...

BentoPDF - Free Online PDF Tools | Privacy-First PDF Toolkit<https://www.bentopdf.com/>

You can self-host it in a docker container. No ads, good basic features, does most of what most people need to do with pdfs. Seems like something we could make available to both staff and patrons. The editing is handled in-browser, so the documents never leave the workstation.

We’re currently using Adobe Acrobat Pro to edit pdf files and a few of our staff accounts and on two of our public computers.  Adobe is “retiring” this product come December.  Can someone give me a suggestion on an alternative app that we can use to edit pdf files?  Our current software are perpetual licenses, so they are licenses per device instead of per user.  We can work with licensing per user for our staff but I’m trying to find a way that this will work on public computers.
