All your PDFs, readable everywhere and private
A PDF manager powered by PdfDing, installed and maintained by DINAO. Read, annotate, and share your documents from all your devices — stored on our French servers.
What is PdfDing?
PdfDing is a self-hosted PDF manager, reader and editor offering a smooth experience across multiple devices. It remembers your reading position, handles annotations (highlighting, drawing, comments) and offers controlled sharing of your documents.
The interface is clean, with dark mode, customizable theme colors and several display layouts. Documents are organized with multi-level tags and archiving, and sharing is done by link or QR code with password protection, a maximum number of views and an expiry date.
Built with Django, Alpine.js, htmx, Tailwind CSS and Mozilla's pdf.js viewer, PdfDing uses SQLite by default or PostgreSQL as an option, supports OIDC SSO authentication and provides a lightweight Docker image compatible with ARM64.
