# Stirling PDF – Open‑Source Alternative to Acrobat
Stirling PDF is a powerful, open‑source PDF platform that replaces Adobe Acrobat on desktop, in the browser, and on your own servers.
Run it as a personal app or deploy it centrally with a personal API to edit, sign, redact, convert, and automate PDFs locally.
