Hi everyone. Hope you are well. BentoPDF recently hit 10k stars on Github in just under 3 months of launch and I am very grateful to the community! ❤️
BentoPDF’s new version has been released. And I had implemented some of the requested feature here such as: Digital Signing of PDFs and Validation along with Email to PDF support and Deskewing of PDF. I have attached the release note link with the post. Moreover the OCR feature now performs on par with OCRMyPDF.
The reason I am making this post is gain feedback on the existing features of Bento, but most importantly Bento is going to have a Desktop version soon. Initially it will be launched for Mac users. Bento is inherently fast, but browsers and wasm have limitations, and this aims to solve it with the use of native libraries and leverage the CPU for faster processing and handling of large files efficiently.
I want to know what is the feature you use the most or is there any feature you’d like to be done that existing PDF softwares don’t do well. I am happy for any feedback! Thank you (:



I have used Stirling in the past. One day, whilst at work, I tried to OCR a few pages, but it just kept loading. Later I wasn’t able to access my other services. I found out that Stirling ate up all the memory, crashing my whole server.
This is a lesson on setting constraints in docker, but also running Bento I don’t have to worry about any resource usage, which is awesome. Love tools like this.
