## What it is
PdfDing is a self-hosted PDF manager, viewer, and editor with a browser-based interface that syncs reading progress across devices. It supports tagging, collections, annotations, signatures, sharing via links, and SSO via OIDC, deployable with Docker or Helm.

## Use cases
- self-host a pdf library
- read pdfs across devices with synced progress
- annotate and highlight pdfs in the browser
- sign pdf documents online
- organize pdfs with tags and collections
- share pdfs with external users via link

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, self-hosted alternative to cloud PDF services
- you need multi-device PDF reading with position memory
- you want tagging, workspaces, and bulk management for a PDF collection
- you need OIDC SSO and 2FA for a document tool

## When to avoid
- you need heavy PDF editing like form creation or OCR
- you want a desktop offline PDF reader
- you need integration with a full document management system
