Selfhosted PDF manager, viewer and editor offering a seamless user experience on multiple devices. - mrmn2/PdfDing
Hi c/selfhosted,
I am the developer of PdfDing. As this feature was requested quite often I wanted to inform you that it is now possible to edit PDFs by adding annotations, highlighting and drawings. You can find the repo here.
I also got the feedback that organizing PDFs with simple tags does not work for many people. It is now possible to organize PDFs with multi-level tags. I hope this will improve the user experience.
If you like PdfDing I would be really happy over a star on GitHub. As the project is open source, if anyone wants to contribute you are welcome to do so!
Have dimensioning and scaling on there? I have yet to find a good PDF program in Linux for working with architectural drawings. In Windows I use pdfxchange (and also through wine in Linux) but would love a native solution.
Surprised to find a fellow pdfxchange user. I use it for work where I deal with a lot of electronics/components datasheets. Pdfxchange’s search functionality/UI is superior to every other PDF viewer/editor I’ve tried. I’d love to find an open-source alternative.
It’s so much better than the other PDF things I’ve used. I can measure drawings, set dimensioning scale, comment, edit, all easily. I don’t know why more software doesn’t take their lead. Bluebeam is industry standard for my world and it’s way more expensive and way worse of a product. Pdfxchange users unite!

No this is not possible. However I think, that you can adjust the page size/scale with Stirling PDF.
