OpenSign
Get PDFs signed from your own server with an AGPL Node.js and MongoDB app. The bundled certificate is public and expired, and the API needs a paid cloud plan.
anydoc
Word, Excel, PowerPoint and text PDFs to Markdown for an LLM, with no Python and no ML model: a Rust library, a Node CLI, a WebAssembly build. No local OCR.
@signpdf
Sign PDFs with a P12 certificate from Node.js using small MIT-licensed npm packages. The UI, sending to signers and trusted timestamps are left to your app.
Unstract
Turn invoices, contracts and scans into JSON with an LLM, as an API or ETL pipeline. A self-hosted AGPL platform that hands OCR to a separate text extractor.
Chandra
Scans and PDFs turned into structured Markdown by a vision model, handwriting included. Free commercial use of the weights ends above $2M in revenue or funding.
Markdownify MCP
Read PDFs, Office files, web pages and Git repos as Markdown from an MCP agent. MarkItDown and Python do the conversion, with no OCR, and audio goes to Google.
pdfme
Generate PDFs by filling a JSON template in Node.js or the browser: an MIT-licensed TypeScript library with a drag-and-drop designer to embed in your own app.
PaddleOCR
Pull text, tables and formulas out of PDFs and images as Markdown or JSON for an LLM: OCR and vision models under Apache 2.0, on PaddlePaddle by default.
DocuSeal
Get PDFs filled in and signed on your own server: an AGPL Rails app with an API and a self-signed certificate by default. SSO and white-label are paid extras.
SnapDOM
Export a chart, invoice or card as PNG, SVG or PDF straight from the page. An MIT-licensed JavaScript library with no runtime dependencies; it needs a browser.
Falcon-Perception
Pick out objects from a text prompt or OCR a whole page: the inference code for TII's Falcon vision-language models, built for NVIDIA GPUs and Apple Silicon.
MarkItDown
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and EPUB files turned into Markdown an LLM can read, in Python. Images and scanned PDFs only become text by calling an LLM.
ConvertX
Convert video, documents, images and e-books on your own server. One upload form drives FFmpeg, LibreOffice, Pandoc, Calibre and 18 other conversion tools.
Stirling PDF
Sign, redact, OCR and convert PDFs on your own machine or server instead of an online service. Open core, free up to five users, with automation capped monthly.
Documenso
Get PDFs signed by email link from your own server, under AGPL. The instance's certificate seals each file; advanced and qualified signatures cost extra.
