Hi /c/opensource,
I am developing PdfDing - a selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor. You can find the repo here.
Today I reached a big milestone as PdfDing reached over 600 stars on github. A good portion of these stars probably comes from being included in the favorite selfhosted apps launched in 2024 on selfh.st.
Here is a quick overview over the project’s features:
- Seamless browser based PDF viewing on multiple devices. Remembers current position - continue where you stopped reading
- Stay on top of your PDF collection with multi-level tagging, starring and archiving functionalities
- Edit PDFs by adding annotations, highlighting and drawings
- Clean, intuitive UI with dark mode, inverted color mode and custom theme colors
- SSO support via OIDC
- Share PDFs with an external audience via a link or a QR Code with optional access control
- Markdown Notes
- Progress bars show the reading progress of each PDF at a quick glance
As always I am happy if you star the repo or if someone wants to contribute.
I just tried using the download attribute out. I am also using librewolf and even with the download attribute it will open a new tab when the default behaviour (applications -> pdf -> open in librewolf) is enabled.
Do you have “Content-Disposition: attachment” setup for the downloads on the backend?
Your issue might just be that it automatically opens it in LibreWolf again :P
