Stirling-PDF v3.3.0

minor PublishedNov 5, 2026 SourceStirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF

Stirling-PDF_0.33.1 Docker hub move to stirlingtools v3.3.0

Stirling Office Convert (still beta) has been upgraded. You can also now pick it as the converter in lots of other tools such as Email, HTML, Markdown and ebooks to PDF plus PDF to HTML/Markdown/XML/EPUB/AZW3, and PDF/A. Please compare it with the existing converter and let us know!

Our roadmap is to turn Office Convert on by default next week, and then, if no changes are required, fully remove LibreOffice and other dependencies the week after. So now is the best time to try it and report (And send example files) any conversions that don’t look correct!

Other changes are:

  • SSO auto-login now works even when username/password login is enabled (admins can still reach the password form via /login?all)
  • JPDFium upgrade and support and Windows ARM64 support, This update also brings better redaction, merge/split improvements and lower memory on big files
  • Faster and more accurate mobile scanning, with no more 9MB OpenCV bundled
  • Faster requests with far fewer database reads and new entity caching
  • Quieter startup and runtime logs
  • Spring Boot, Docker base image and lots of other dependency updates
  • Updated translations for all languages

We also fixed some bugs including

  • Convert sending multiple or mixed file uploads to the wrong conversion
  • Ebook settings resetting the selected output format
  • “Include all recipients” not controlling CC/BCC in email to PDF
  • PDF/UA font embedding making form fields no longer fillable
  • Certificate signing rejecting unencrypted PKCS#8 PEM keys
  • Viewer jumping away from your page after adding a bookmark
  • Archive extraction being offered for non-zip files

This release also includes several security and stability improvements, so we advise users to update when possible! Note: the old, deprecated backend PDF text editing API has been removed in favour of the new Text Editor. We are hoping to add a new Text Editor API soon!
