What is PDFCraft?
PDFCraft is a free, open-source PDF workbench designed for users who want powerful document tools without subscriptions, cloud dependence, or unnecessary data collection. Developed by the ArtCraft team and written in Rust, it runs as a native application on Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD, while its WebAssembly version works directly in modern browsers. The application supports reading, searching, commenting, highlighting, filling forms, adding basic digital signatures, organizing pages, combining files, splitting documents, opening password-protected PDFs, and redacting sensitive information. Files stay on the user’s device, and the browser tools process documents locally without cloud uploads or telemetry. PDFCraft is alpha software and continually improving.
