BentoPDF is a browser-based document toolkit designed for local-first PDF manipulation, conversion, and metadata management. By executing all file processing tasks directly within the browser sandbox, the application ensures that sensitive data remains on the user's device and is never uploaded to or stored on external servers.
The platform distinguishes itself through a modular architecture that supports dynamic remote script loading and the integration of external processing engines. Users can extend the core functionality by connecting third-party libraries, which are executed as compiled binary modules within the browser runtime to maintain high performance while preserving data privacy.
The toolkit provides a comprehensive suite of capabilities for document archival and content extraction. It supports transforming files into standardized archival formats, converting fonts to outlines, and extracting structured data such as text, markdown, or spreadsheets. Additionally, users can organize document structures by splitting files based on bookmarks and modifying internal metadata.
The application maintains a consistent user experience by persisting configuration settings and interface preferences directly to the browser local storage. It is distributed as a web-based utility that requires no server-side dependencies for its operations.
