FreePDFEditor

A cross-platform native desktop PDF editor with a true WYSIWYG interface and full content editing: edit existing text with reflow, replace images, manipulate vector objects, plus annotations, forms, signatures, and page assembly.

  • Stack: C++20, Qt 6.7 (Widgets shell, custom canvas), CMake, vcpkg.
  • License: GPL-3.0-or-later (see LICENSES/GPL-3.0-or-later.txt). Qt is dynamically linked under LGPL-3.0.
  • Targets: Windows 10+, macOS 12+ (Intel + Apple Silicon), Linux (X11/Wayland).

This repository contains the source and build infrastructure. The full engineering plan and roadmap live in docs/plan.md; architecture decision records are under docs/adr/.

Status

Pre-M0. This is the initial repository scaffold described in §14 of the plan: CMake + vcpkg skeleton, governance docs, CI matrix, packaging pipeline, an empty-window application shell, the pixel-diff harness scaffolding, and the Spike A (QPDF verbatim round-trip) harness. The feasibility spikes that gate the project run on top of this scaffolding.

Building

cmake --preset default
cmake --build --preset default
ctest --preset default

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full build setup, gate matrix, and coding standard.

Source control

All code is developed on the project Gitea instance at https://gitea.lm.je/ai-ad4/freepdfeditor per docs/plan.md §13. See SECURITY.md for vulnerability reporting.
