New Open-Source Tool PaperPilot Offers Local PDF Editing for AI Agents
PaperPilot is a Rust-based PDF toolkit that runs locally as a CLI, browser WASM app, desktop app, REST API, or MCP server for AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor. Version 0.6 supports merging, splitting, rotating, compressing, OCR, watermarking, signature validation, PII scanning, and Excel conversion, all without uploading files to the cloud or relying on Chromium or C++ runtimes.
