Yes a one-click install would be nice but you can run it locally on your computer. I didn't go the docker route, didn't even check for dependencies - just downloaded and ran the jar file they provided and it worked! Not sure if all of the features will work - I only tried a few. They have a survey going on now and if enough people ask them to bundle everything in a flatpak and snap, perhaps they'll consider a desktop app...

One can create an office document (preferably using Libre office with a build-in support for exporting PDFs)and save it (save natively to be able to make changes later and export) as pdf. And the editing options of existing pdf's are very limited using this set of tools (Stirling). Also kind of awkward. Is it possible to do anything offline? And to be completely honest I don't understand many very positive comments some even enthusiastic about this Stirling software.

One issue is that it can not be used as default application for the PDF files in the system? You always have to launch your docker container if not yet running, then go to the URL, then open your file selection dialog, blah blah blah. You can't just double-click your PDF file and see it open in your Stirling application? That is a bummer and probably a reason why enterprises and individuals might not use it. Only people who have to manipulate PDF files will want this, but it can't be used as a default PDF viewer, for which Acrobat Reader is still free. But it is a great free alternative to Acrobat Pro or other paid PDF applications. Thank your for this video.

This docker business is much too confusing. How about the simple old type installation by double clicking on an executable file and done. Your audience may not all be familiar with your docker business so what I need, and I suspect others as well, is the brain-dead simple method of double clicking the executable file and go with that. I won't be able to install Stirling-PDF unless I can do so with an executable and not have to fuss with all this other stuff you are doing. Pretend I am super uneducated about installing programs (which I am not) and provide a much simpler method.

Docker is a great tool for running sandboxed applications and web-service applications. It's really and truly just a very small virtual machine with an application running inside of it.

thanks for this video! I followed everything and for some strange reason I get tons of errors and the application does not come up properly. anyone else is having this issue? The 1st of many error messages I get is: Stirling-PDF | 14:31:35,617 |-ERROR in ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender[AUTHLOG] - openFile(logs/invalid-auths.log,true) call failed. java.io.FileNotFoundException: logs/invalid-auths.log (Permission denied) I have confirmed the folders created that are attached to the docker are all have proper access rights. it looks like there is something within the container that is throwing the exception thanks in advance!

I think you may just have a permissions issue on one of your folders or volumes.
