PDF Wire is free software. You can use it, study how it works, change it and share it.
Licence
The PDF Wire editor is released under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0). If you run a modified version for other people to use, you must make your changes available under the same licence. The full licence is in the repository’s LICENSE file.
Contributing
Bug reports, ideas and pull requests are welcome on GitHub. When reporting a problem with an exported PDF, attach the .pwj draft, with anything confidential removed, and a veraPDF or PAC report if you have one. Please also report anywhere the editor itself is hard to use with a keyboard or assistive technology.
Fonts
Every bundled font is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and declares no Reserved Font Name. That lets PDF Wire ship trimmed-down copies and embed them in your PDFs. The copyright notices travel inside each font file and are listed in the editor under Font licences.
