Stirling-PDF: Locally hosted web application that allows you to perform various operations on PDF files (github.com)

This is a robust, locally hosted web-based PDF manipulation tool using Docker. It enables you to carry out various operations on PDF files, including splitting, merging, converting, reorganizing, adding images, rotating, compressing, and more. This locally hosted web application has evolved to encompass a comprehensive set of features, addressing all your PDF requirements.

Stirling PDF does not initiate any outbound calls for record-keeping or tracking purposes.

All files and PDFs exist either exclusively on the client side, reside in server memory only during task execution, or temporarily reside in a file solely for the execution of the task. Any file downloaded by the user will have been deleted from the server by that point.

She certainly can't break anything by using it, you can spin up a docker container and see for yourself. It's also localized in a lot of languages.

I don't think my own mother would do well with this, mainly because I think she doesn't know what the difference between a pdf and word or libre doc is. But apart from that, it is really simple.
