About Stirling-PDF
Stirling-PDF layers MCP and metered AI tools onto its OSS PDF utility, plus a SaaS tier.
Stirling-PDF is shipping fast on its V2 line. The last month splits between heavy engineering — JDK 25 enforcement, a new JPDFium path cutting merge/split memory use by up to 99%, server-side folder storage, desktop multi-window — and a newer direction: an MCP integration page plus pay-as-you-go AI document tools, with stirling.com's SaaS code now folded into the OSS repo. A reworked file-management UI (files left, tools right) addresses long-standing complaints about V2's 'forced file management.' Releases are frequent and several are explicitly flagged WIP.
