Papra brings document storage and management together in an open-source archiving platform. Full-text search, advanced filters, tags, and automatic imports from email or a folder help organize files and retrieve them later.
The project can be deployed with Docker and also provides a CLI, API, SDKs, and webhooks for integration with other tools. Its online demo runs entirely in browser-local storage, with no backend.

RAG-Anything is a framework built on LightRAG for indexing and querying documents that mix text, images, tables, equations, and charts. It coordinates parsing and content analysis in a single multimodal pipeline.
The project combines vector similarity with a knowledge graph, provides processors for different content types, and can pass retrieved images to a vision model during queries. A recent change also routes rendered charts through the image pipeline while preserving captions and extracted text. To update a previously indexed document, multimodal reprocessing must be explicitly enabled with force_multimodal_reprocess=True.

This overview traces Stirling PDF’s development and its editing and processing tools. It describes browser, desktop and server execution options.
DocuSeal provides a PDF field editor and a mobile-friendly signing workflow. APIs, webhooks and SMTP notifications connect it to document-processing workflows.
EmbedPDF provides a JavaScript PDF viewer that integrates with multiple frameworks. The repository distinguishes the stable branch from ongoing development and links to demos and documentation.
Paperless-ngx organizes scanned documents into an accessible, searchable archive. The community project provides a self-hosted foundation for collecting and retrieving documents.
PDFSlick provides PDF viewer examples for React, Svelte, SolidJS and JavaScript. Navigation, thumbnails and zoom show how documents can become part of the application interface.
Jscanify uses OpenCV.js to detect paper and correct distortion. The repository provides examples for integrating document scanning into browsers or Node.js environments.
