BentoPDF is building an independent, open source document technology ecosystem. Our goal is to replace the external dependencies behind PDF processing and document understanding with engines we develop and maintain ourselves: Kura for PDF processing, standards and preflight, Hyper Compress for compression, and BentoParse, a lightweight document understanding engine that runs fully offline on ordinary CPUs (not yet public). BentoPDF, our browser based PDF toolkit, is the application through which these engines reach users.
Our software runs locally, including in the browser through WebAssembly, so documents never have to leave the user's device. BentoPDF, Kura and Hyper Compress are licensed under AGPL-3.0, and the work is sustained by commercial licenses sold to companies that embed them in closed-source products, alongside community sponsorships.
