About

PdfCraft is an open-source, native PDF editor: read, annotate, fill forms, sign, organise, combine, split and secure PDFs. PdfCraft is part of the open-source ArtCraft "Crafting Apps": a native Rust application that runs locally on your own files and can be driven from a CLI, a JSON control channel or an MCP server. This snap repackages the official upstream Linux release. The headless command line tool is available as pdfcraft.cli.
