Licenses
What this is built from
A handful of open-source libraries do the real work. Their license texts are served from this site, not linked to somebody else's copy.
| Library | Version | License |
|---|---|---|
| pdf.js (pdfjs-dist) | 6.2.108 | Apache-2.0 |
| @cantoo/pdf-lib | 2.8.1 | MIT |
| docx | 9.7.1 | MIT |
| jsPDF | 4.2.1 | MIT |
What each one does here
- pdf.js (pdfjs-dist)
- Reads PDFs, renders pages and extracts the text layer.
- @cantoo/pdf-lib
- Creates, combines, compresses and encrypts the PDF files these tools produce.
- docx
- Writes the Word (.docx) files the PDF to Word tool produces.
- jsPDF

Libraries deliberately not used
Several well-known PDF tools are published under the GNU GPL or AGPL. Those are good licenses and the wrong ones for this site, so none of them are used, and none of their code is present in what your browser downloads.
