Dad Joke Of the Release

Comparison Tool Revamp - v2.5.0

alam00000 unveils BentoPDF’s big rewrite with a semantic PDF comparison engine that detects every change between documents. It now tracks text edits, moves, style shifts, images, annotations, and background changes, plus OCR for scans, smart page pairing, four export modes, and broad bug fixes.
Dad Joke of the Release

Why did the laptop get cold? Cause it let its Windows open🤣

What's Changed

PDF Comparison Rewrite

Semantic Text Diffing

Word-level diff engine with exact bounding-box highlighting on both documents

Handles additions, deletions, modifications, and full page insertions/removals

CJK word segmentation for accurate Chinese, Japanese, and Korean comparisons

Moved-Text Detection

Detects paragraphs that moved position between documents (≥3 words, ≥80% Jaccard similarity)

Collapsed into single "Moved" changes with purple highlights instead of noisy add/remove pairs

Style Change Detection

Detects font family and font size changes on otherwise identical text

Content Category Classification

Every detected change is automatically classified into one of six categories: Text, Image, Header/Footer, Annotation, Formatting, Background

Header/footer detection based on y-position analysis (top/bottom 12% of page)

Image comparison via area-overlap matching (detects added, removed, and resized images)

Annotation diffing compares subtype, contents, and position

Background change detection triggers when visual mismatch exceeds text change coverage

Smart Page Pairing

Automated page-pairing model using content signatures instead of naive page-number matching

Correctly handles inserted/deleted pages between document versions

OCR Support

OCR for scanned documents, toggled from the toolbar

OCR results cached in LRU cache to avoid redundant processing

Low-quality text detection auto-triggers OCR when extracted text is unreliable

Filter System

Change type filter pills: Modified, Added, Deleted, Moved, Style Changed

Content category filter pills: Text, Image, Header/Footer, Annotation, Formatting, Background

PDF Export

Four export modes: Split View, Alternating Pages, Left Document Only, Right Document Only

Bug Fixes

Rotation fix: Corrected PDF page rotation functionality with comprehensive test coverage (380 new tests)

v2.1.0

alam00000 unveils v2 with zero config WASM now pre configured CDN defaults and immediate deployability plus options for air gapped setups. New tools include Adjust Colors and Scanner Effect for PDFs. Major i18n expansion across 109 tool pages in 13 languages plus translation updates. Bug fixes and port handling improvements plus next update sneak peek.

Dad Joke of the Release

Two guys walk into a bar. The third one ducked 🤣

What's New

1. Zero-Config WASM

In V2 we stopped bundling AGPL libraries but it required additional setup. Now all libraries (PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, CoherentPDF) are now pre-configured with CDN defaults and work immediately after deployment just like before.
Custom/air-gapped deployments can still override via environment variables or the Advanced Settings UI. The steps to do this have been added in the Readme and Docs have been updated to reflect the same.
The WASM Settings page now shows "Pre-configured" status badges with CDN URLs as placeholders.

2. New Tools!

Adjust Colors — Modify brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue, temperature, tint, gamma and sepia of PDF pages.
Scanner Effect — Apply realistic scanner/photocopy effects to PDFs.

3. Bug Fixes

Added i18n translations pass across all 109 tool pages and 13 languages.
Added missing translations for 7 tools (PDF to Word, Extract Images, PDF to Markdown, Prepare PDF for AI, PDF Layers, PDF to PDF/A, Rasterize PDF).
Added data-i18n attributes for file type hints, section headers, how-it-works steps, and upload dropzone text across every page.
30+ new translation keys added to all 12 non-English locales.
Dutch translation corrections — Thanks @Stephan-P! ❤️

Note:
Since, I use Google Translate for the translations, it might not be accurate. I request our users to feel free to correct the translations and raise a PR for the same. We are also looking to translate Bento into other languages, especially Arabic, so translations are more than welcome!

4. Fixes & Improvements

Docker port redirect fix — Locale URLs without trailing slash (e.g., /de, /fr) no longer redirect to the internal container port (8080) instead of the external port.
Removed unused WASM background preloader that added unnecessary load on every page visit.
Added new i18n translations for all 109 tool pages and 13 languages.
Added missing translations for 7 tools (PDF to Word, Extract Images, PDF to Markdown, Prepare PDF for AI, PDF Layers, PDF to PDF/A, Rasterize PDF).
Update translations by @Stephan-P in #445 ❤️
Update translations by @Stephan-P in #444 ❤️

Next Update Sneak Peek

The automation tool is now complete and will be in the next release

v2.0.0

alam00000 announces a major release with breaking changes moving AGPL libraries to manual config for flexibility. New PDF Editor adds save with annotations, multi-document tabs, and link support. Kubernetes Helm chart, Dutch and Belarusian language support, page reordering, fixes and security updates, plus new contributors.
Dad Joke of the Release

Where do cats go to get a new tail? A retail store 🤣

⚠️ Breaking Changes

This release moves away from bundling AGPL-licensed libraries such as PyMuPDF, Ghostscript, and CoherentPDF. If your workflow depends on these tools, you’ll now need to configure them manually via the Advanced Settings.

You can supply your own compatible versions of these libraries, as long as they conform to the expected interfaces and formats. This change was made to improve flexibility and maintain a clear separation of concerns.

The simple tutorial can be found here: Tutorial and the docs have been updated to reflect the same.

What's New

PDF Editor Tool

Download button added to the PDF Editor tool - you can now save your edited PDFs with all annotations, redactions, and form data baked in.

Multi-document tabs - open multiple PDFs at once in the editor and switch between them with tabs.

Link Support - you can now add internal and external page links

Kubernetes Deployment

Helm chart added for Kubernetes deployment - Thanks @spwoodcock ! ❤️

Deploy BentoPDF on your cluster with a single helm install.

New Language Support

Dutch (Nederlands) - Thanks @Stephan-P! ❤️

Belarusian (Беларуская) - Thanks @pavel-miniutka! ❤️

Fixed missing language regex mappings for nl and be across routing, i18n, and service worker.

Organize PDF - Page Reordering

You can now reorder pages using page number strings (e.g. 3,1,2,5-4) in the Organize PDF tool - Thanks @sheing-google! ❤️

Fixes & Improvements

Fixed crop bounds not restoring when navigating between pages - Thanks @LoganK! ❤️

Restored embedpdf workflow and fixed external xlsx reference - Thanks @EmeraldPi! ❤️

Security: bumped svelte (5.46.1 → 5.48.2) and lodash (4.17.21 → 4.17.23)

Fix sign pdf tool bug where the drawing pad wasn't focused on mobile devices

Fixed an issue where you had to hard refresh when changing a language

Fixed issue of extra url prefixes when navigating to different pages
