stirling-pdfInstalling it
Open the dashboard, go to Apps, press Add on it and apply the change. Or from a terminal on the box:
sudo homebox install stirling-pdfWhere to open it
| Service | Port | First login |
|---|---|---|
| Stirling PDF | :8084 | No account by default — it opens straight into the tool list. |
Open it at your box's address with that port — the dashboard links to it directly once it is running.
Good to know
- No login by default — anything that reaches the page can process files. Turn on security in Settings if this box is not only yours
- OCR and Office conversion pull extra language and LibreOffice packs the first time you use them, so the first run of those is slow
- Files are processed and handed back, not stored. There is no library to go and find something in later
