Hi Product Hunt! I'm Lực, a developer from Vietnam.

I built Paperlane because the PDF tools I needed every day were either online (uploading contracts and ID cards to someone else's server never felt right), limited to a few tasks a day, or expensive.

Paperlane is free and runs fully offline on Windows:

• 30+ tools: Office, email and images to PDF and back, merge, split, compress (even to a size like "under 2 MB"), OCR in 13 languages, fill forms, sign, redact, protect

• Edit the text already in a PDF: click a line to change, move or delete it

• A built-in reader with tabs, search and attachments

• Made for Vietnam too: e-invoice XML to PDF and ID card scanning

No account, no uploads, no tracking.

I'd love your feedback: which PDF task is still missing for you, and what would make you switch from your current PDF app?
