Hi, I am looking for a self hosted front end software like Outline or
Affine which allows me to upload pdfs for viewing and sharing from a
web ui. Ideally it should have a good UI and easy to deploy. I tried
outline and affine however they do not support having a pdf on its own
and require markdown or html. This is mainly to share notes with my
teachers so it would require folders and sub folder support. I will be
running on a pi and hope to connect web port to a sub domain

thanks

I'd be surprised if you found anything like it. PDF is notoriously
tricky to edit, and software that do that usually do only that (that
is, won't have the cool frontend for other stuff)

What kind of notes do you really want to share? Perhaps exporting the
PDF as text and importing on those tools ought to be enough?

Not for edit just viewing and sharing

I'm not completely sure it will work for what you want, but paperless-
ngx might be a solution that can work for you.

Unfortunately it’s not what I’m looking for the UI isn’t great either
