Original Summary

Hi HN,<p>I built AntiPDF, a native PDF reader AND editor for Windows (coming to Linux and MacOS). I built it because I got tired of getting ads and all those Acrobatics.<p>AntiPDF can read, edit, annotate, OCR and organize PDFs while keeping your documents on your computer. It&#x27;s written completely in Odin and rendered with Vulkan using MSDF fonts for those lovely smooth fonts.<p>Any action in the program that took longer than 20ms was questioned and rewritten. The &quot;Anti&quot; isn&#x27;t about PDFs. It&#x27;s to highlight and be against an industry of capitalistic habits that users have learned to tolerate. The program has a paying part but that is because I have to pay for storage if you choose that option. For reading and &quot;Editing&quot; PDFs you don&#x27;t need to pay. And you will never see ads just because you accidentally clicked a button.<p>Happy to answer questions about the implementation, PDF internals, Odin, Vulkan, or the product itself.
