Why it's listed

Stirling PDF is listed in documents, pdf & office because it competes on utility: every pdf tool, local, in one container. It's community-maintained open source: the incentive is the tool itself. Licensed MIT; pricing: free. Its resource footprint is reasonable for what it does, though not featherweight. This entry is provisional — the scores are seeded estimates pending our full manual rubric pass, and the verification date will appear here once complete.
