It offers a desktop application, browser interface and self-hosted server\u002FAPI. These modes have different processing, licensing and deployment boundaries.\n\n## Document operations\n- Merge, split, rotate, reorder and crop PDF pages.\n- Read, annotate, fill forms and edit supported text or objects.\n- Add signatures, manage attachments and use supported shared-signing workflows.\n- Compress, convert and OCR documents when the required processing backend is available.\n- Redact or compare documents and configure supported pipelines and API automation.\n- Connect the desktop app to Stirling Cloud or a self-hosted server for additional tools.\n\nThe 3.1.0 release expands table and OCR-image text editing. Its new Office converter is an opt-in beta and the notes say native desktop support is still coming; do not assume every server or beta feature is available in the packaged Mac app.\n\n## macOS installation and dependencies\nDownload the universal Mac DMG, drag Stirling PDF to Applications and launch it, or use `brew install --cask stirling-pdf`. The exact 3.1.0 DMG is 457,618,448 bytes, verified by HEAD against the official GitHub asset. The official Mac guide confirms native Apple Silicon and Intel support. The tagged desktop build configuration declares minimumSystemVersion 10.15 and bundles JAR libraries and a Java runtime; that wrapper declaration alone does not verify the minimum OS for every bundled backend or optional processing component. The checked Mac guide and current cask do not provide a complete numeric OS\u002FRAM requirement for all tools, so those details remain unverified.\n\nLocal workspace files use embedded-webview storage and available quota; large PDFs, images, OCR and conversions need additional memory and disk space. Packaged desktop use does not require building the source or installing a Docker server. Self-hosted JAR, Docker and advanced tool deployments have separate Java, OCR, conversion and service dependencies. The cask declares no named conflict.\n\n## Local processing, accounts and privacy\nThe official guide says no login is required to start supported local desktop tools. Local operations work on-device, but a tool routed to Stirling Cloud or a connected server sends its inputs to that service. Check the active connection and tool route before opening confidential PDFs. Hosted accounts, shared signing, enterprise features or licensed deployments can require credentials and network access. Supported local operations can run offline; downloads, updates, connected processing and online signing require a reachable service.\n\nThe official telemetry documentation describes opt-in analytics and administrator controls, and says document content is excluded from analytics. Treat that as the vendor's documented policy, not proof that a cloud processing route never receives a document. Review consent, connected-server retention and optional AI-provider settings separately.\n\n## Licensing and permissions\nThe repository is open-core. Its root license applies MIT terms outside specifically excluded directories, but the tagged desktop source license is a Stirling PDF User License: production, at-scale or business-critical use requires an active appropriate license subscription or agreement. Unpaid use is limited to the license's trial, evaluation or minimal-use scope and software restrictions. Do not describe the desktop build as unrestricted MIT software or infer that no-login local use authorizes every commercial deployment.\n\nGive file access to intended input\u002Foutput locations and choose the default-PDF-viewer association only if desired. The checked guide does not establish blanket Accessibility, Screen Recording or Full Disk Access as standard PDF-tool requirements. Keep originals before destructive edits, inspect redaction output for remaining text, metadata, attachments or hidden layers, and verify converted documents before distributing them. A drawn signature is not automatically the same as a legally recognized certificate signature; choose the workflow required by your organization. Untrusted documents and links should be handled with updated processing components.\n\nSources: [Official project](https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FStirling-Tools\u002FStirling-PDF), [Mac

The exact 3.1.0 DMG is 457,618,448 bytes, verified by HEAD against the official GitHub asset. The official Mac guide confirms native Apple Silicon and Intel support. The tagged desktop build configuration declares minimumSystemVersion 10.15 and bundles JAR libraries and a Java runtime; that wrapper declaration alone does not verify the minimum OS for every bundled backend or optional processing component. The checked Mac guide and current cask do not provide a complete numeric OS\u002FRAM requirement for all tools, so those details remain unverified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Local workspace files use embedded-webview storage and available quota; large PDFs, images, OCR and conversions need additional memory and disk space. Packaged desktop use does not require building the source or installing a Docker server. Self-hosted JAR, Docker and advanced tool deployments have separate Java, OCR, conversion and service dependencies. The cask declares no named conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Local processing, accounts and privacy\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The official guide says no login is required to start supported local desktop tools. Local operations work on-device, but a tool routed to Stirling Cloud or a connected server sends its inputs to that service. Check the active connection and tool route before opening confidential PDFs. Hosted accounts, shared signing, enterprise features or licensed deployments can require credentials and network access. Supported local operations can run offline; downloads, updates, connected processing and online signing require a reachable service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The official telemetry documentation describes opt-in analytics and administrator controls, and says document content is excluded from analytics. Treat that as the vendor's documented policy, not proof that a cloud processing route never receives a document. Review consent, connected-server retention and optional AI-provider settings separately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3 class=\"on-md-heading-1\">Licensing and permissions\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The repository is open-core. Its root license applies MIT terms outside specifically excluded directories, but the tagged desktop source license is a Stirling PDF User License: production, at-scale or business-critical use requires an active appropriate license subscription or agreement. Unpaid use is limited to the license's trial, evaluation or minimal-use scope and software restrictions. Do not describe the desktop build as unrestricted MIT software or infer that no-login local use authorizes every commercial deployment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give file access to intended input\u002Foutput locations and choose the default-PDF-viewer association only if desired. The checked guide does not establish blanket Accessibility, Screen Recording or Full Disk Access as standard PDF-tool requirements. Keep originals before destructive edits, inspect redaction output for remaining text, metadata, attachments or hidden layers, and verify converted documents before distributing them. A drawn signature is not automatically the same as a legally recognized certificate signature; choose the workflow required by your organization. Untrusted documents and links should be handled with updated processing components.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sources: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FStirling-Tools\u002FStirling-PDF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Official project\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.stirlingpdf.com\u002FInstallation\u002FMac%20Installation\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mac guide\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.stirlingpdf.com\u002Fanalytics-telemetry\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Telemetry\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FStirling-Tools\u002FStirling-PDF\u002Fblob\u002Fv3.1.0\u002Ffrontend\u002Feditor\u002Fsrc-tauri\u002Ftauri.conf.json\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3.1.0 desktop build configuration\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FStirling-Tools\u002FStirling-PDF\u002Fblob\u002Fv3.1.0\u002Ffrontend\u002Feditor\u002Fsrc\u002Fdesktop\u002FLICENSE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Desktop license\u003C\u002Fa>, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgithub.com\u002FStirling-Tools\u002FStirling-PDF\u002Fblob\u002Fv3.1.0\u002FLICENSE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Root license\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n"]
