Launched: $15 offline PDF tool because Adobe’s $20/mo made me angry

I had to merge 5 contracts last week. Adobe wanted $20/mo.

All the “free” tools made me upload sensitive docs to their servers. Hard no.

So I spent 2 weeks building PDF Utility for Windows:

- Merge multiple PDFs into one

- Delete pages: 1, 3, 5-7

- Compress to fit email limits

- Stamp DRAFT / CONFIDENTIAL / APPROVED

8MB download. 100% offline. Zero data collection. No subscription.

$15 one-time. Free updates forever.

I’m a solo dev in Arizona. This is v1.0 – it’s ugly but it works.

Roast it. What feature should I ship in v1.1?

    Adobe's pricing is insane for basic stuff like this. I use free tools but always feel sketchy uploading tax docs or contracts to random sites.

    Does it handle OCR or is that coming later? Would pay extra for searchable scans honestly.

    First sale gets a personal thank you video + I’ll build their #1 feature request for v1.1

    Who’s going to be customer #1? 👀
