About the project
Cross-platform PDF workbench written in Rust: read, search, organize pages, combine, split and secure PDFs, plus a CLI. An open-source alternative to Adobe Acrobat with no account or telemetry.
Useful for
- Combine several PDFs into one with bookmarks via printcraft-cli combine
- Split a document every n pages or extract selected pages into a new file
- Open an encrypted PDF, enter the owner password and lift editing restrictions

Stars per day
Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending
- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 00:19–19:35: 1106 → 2069 stars (+963). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +1,158 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- Over the last two days the pace is 18× that of the previous 5 days.
- The repository is 7 days old and already has 2,069 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this month: #50.
- About 280 forks a day — people are taking the code.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
