PDF Fire
A free PDF editor for Linux and Windows — built by Firehouse 360 for fire departments, free for everyone. Edit, fill, sign and protect PDFs without a subscription.
Built on open-source code and developed with AI-assisted coding — every change is reviewed, built and tested before release. View the source on GitHub.
🐧 Ubuntu / Debian
Install with automatic updates (recommended)
Paste into a terminal — it asks for your password once:
sudo install -d /etc/apt/keyrings sudo curl -fsSLo /etc/apt/keyrings/pdf-fire.asc https://firehouse360.com/pdf-fire/pdf-fire-signing-key.asc sudo curl -fsSLo /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pdf-fire.sources https://firehouse360.com/pdf-fire/pdf-fire.sources sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y pdf-fire
Or install just the downloaded file (from the folder it was saved in):
sudo apt install ./pdf-fire_0.1.14+pdf4qt1.6.0.0_amd64.deb
🎩 Fedora
Install with automatic updates (recommended)
Paste into a terminal — dnf shows the key fingerprint once; it must match the one below:
sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://firehouse360.com/pdf-fire/pdf-fire.repo sudo dnf install -y pdf-fire
Or install just the downloaded file (Fedora 45 needs the key first):
sudo rpm --import https://firehouse360.com/pdf-fire/pdf-fire-signing-key.asc sudo dnf install ./pdf-fire-0.1.14-1.fc44.x86_64.rpm
🪟 Windows
Installing on Windows
Run the installer. It is not code-signed yet, so Windows shows “Windows protected your PC” — click More info, then Run anyway. (Your browser may also ask whether to keep the file.) Choose “only for me” to install without an administrator password.
To check the download, run this in PowerShell in the folder it was saved in — the result must be 546e534cb542515b877250864ef181e6e2eb561f3418037c1a0c8d933a6a3c97:

What it does
Every installer and the update repository are signed with the PDF Fire signing key. Its fingerprint is 1AD3 AB56 3A5F C1D4 F403 632A C011 9E5C 2237 8B81 — your package manager shows it when you add the key; it must match. Public key · Install notes
PDF Fire collects nothing. Your documents stay on your computer. This program will not transfer any information to other networked systems unless specifically requested by the user — privacy details.
It’s free and stays free. If it helps you, you can support it — once or monthly, cancel anytime.
