PDFCanon
Sanitize, normalize, and hash any PDF — deterministically
What it does
PDFs are structurally chaotic - same document, different bytes, hidden JS, broken audit trails. PDFCanon normalizes any PDF deterministically: strips active content, collapses structural noise, and returns a hardened document with a stable SHA-256 hash. Same input → same bytes → same hash. Every time. Free tier: 100/month. SDKs forNET, Node, Python, Java, Go.
Does the same job

Hi HN, Arek here. We’re super excited to officially launch PSPDFKit API [1]. PSPDFKit API is a collection of HTTP APIs that enable you to convert, generate, and edit documents without running any service on your infrastructure. What differentiates our API from others is that you can chain together multiple “actions” as part of a single API request. For example, you can convert, OCR, watermark, edit, and flatten a document — all in one call. Available actions [2]: - PDF Generator - PDF Converter - Image Converter - OCR - Watermark - Merge - Split - Duplicate - Delete - Flatten Our…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
