READ FIRST. EDIT WHEN YOU NEED TO.
A familiar place.
For the everyday PDF.
Open documents in tabs. Search for the detail you need, select and copy text, or scroll through the whole file. Read mode helps prevent accidental changes. Switch to Edit when it’s time to get something done.
THE SMALL CHANGES THAT MATTER
Make it yours.
Then save a fresh copy.
Edit supported text, add an image, fill a standard form, or highlight the part that matters. Move and resize supported objects, with undo and redo along the way.
BRING THE PIECES TOGETHER
The right pages. In the right order.
Rotate, reorder, delete or extract pages. Choose pages from another PDF with thumbnail previews, and insert them where you need them.
A useful starting point for scans.
Run English or Bulgarian OCR on a page or the whole document. Recognized text becomes editable content. You choose when to run it, and review the result before saving.
From a file to a PDF.
Start a new document or import DOCX, TXT, PNG, JPEG, BMP and TIFF. DOCX import keeps basic formatting; it does not reproduce every Word layout.
YOUR DOCUMENTS. YOUR COMPUTER.
At home on Windows.
PDF processing and optional OCR run locally. Your document contents are not uploaded to Minty. The signed installer includes the .NET desktop runtime; a portable ZIP is also available.
Startup update checks and Help → Check for updates contact the public GitHub release feed. Updates open a download link for you to install. See how Minty handles your data ↗
A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Before you download.
Free for personal and business use. Keep your originals and review the files you edit.
What can I edit?
Minty edits supported PDF text and page objects. Some embedded fonts need a compatible replacement for new characters. Paragraph reflow across pages and editing inside nested graphic groups are not supported. Standard PDF forms are supported; dynamic XFA scripts and layouts are not.
What does OCR need?
Windows 10 or later, 64-bit, and the Microsoft Visual C++ v14 x64 Redistributable (opens in a new tab). English and Bulgarian OCR models are included. Recognition can misread text or approximate fonts, so review each converted page.
How do redaction and signatures work?
Pending redaction marks must be applied. Applying them creates a fresh, unencrypted PDF made from page images and removes the original text, forms, links, bookmarks, attachments and signatures. Certificate signing needs access to your certificate’s private key. Signature verification checks integrity and Windows certificate trust offline; it does not check revocation or trusted timestamps. Signed documents stay in Read mode.
Can I convert a PDF to Word or Excel?
PDF-to-Word and PDF-to-Excel conversion are not included. You can import DOCX with basic formatting, and export a PDF page as PNG.
A LITTLE LESS FRICTION
Give your PDFs some room.
Free to use. A note is always welcome.
