I’m considering running Stirling PDF. In a way, it’s pretty niche: a tool for editing PDF files. On the other hand, when the need arises every now and then, for myself or those around me, it’s always a bit of a pain to figure out how to do it right on Linux.
Stirling seems to be a decent solution for this.
However, seeing things like this in the docs is giving me pause :
Before configuring OAuth 2.0 SSO, ensure you have:
- Stirling PDF with login enabled (security.enableLogin: true)
- Valid license for Professional tier or higher
Requirements:
- Java 21+
- Linux/Unix system
- 2GB RAM minimum
- LibreOffice, Tesseract (for features)
Have some of you deployed it and used it? What’s your take?
Thanks!

They started to get really pushy about the premium features, so I removed it again.
I love it. Works great. I also don’t feel the need to have authentication in front of it; I just leave it internal.
I can see how that could be a simpler option. Thanks.
I did for a while but I switched to bentopdf. Mostly a personal preference, but yes those tools are really great for pdf work
Thanks, helpful stuff.
@axx used to run this in a docker container, if I recall, it used a ton of memory even when idle. Switched over to BentoPDF and while I don’t need to mess with pdfs super often, it’s currently idling at 11mb of ram.
Very helpful, thanks!
