Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

Their project served as a significant inspiration and reference for our core logic. While PDFCraft has been re-engineered for the Next.js ecosystem and extends functionality with unique features like the Workflow Editor, we deeply respect the foundation laid by the BentoPDF team.”
