BentoPDF started off as just a simple internal tool I used for
|
|
quickly merging and splitting PDFs.

At some point, I decided to

the next day, and that's when things really started to take off.

<p>
|
|
I honestly never thought BentoPDF would grow into what it is
|
|
today. It started as a little tool I made for myself, and
|
|
somehow it turned into a much bigger project used by people all
|
|
over the world.
