This disclosure is for opensourcepdfeditor.com; File links go to GitHub Releases, files.stirlingpdf.com, and docker.stirlingpdf.com. Installers are not hosted beside a download button, paid or unpaid. Publisher details sit on about.
Ads are currently off
No display network script ships and there is no fake download button that is actually an ad. Guides under PDF editor guides are not for sale and the winget command is the official package id, not a paid placement:
winget install StirlingTools.StirlingPDFDocker compose on PDF editor Docker Compose is the official compose path, not a sponsored container. Image docker.stirlingpdf.com/stirlingtools/stirling-pdf:latest and then docker-compose up -d. Open http://localhost:8080; Because ads are off, contact has no advertising enquiry channel. Do not send a media kit expecting a slot; Privacy for the lack of ad cookies is on privacy.
If ads are enabled later
If a display network is approved later, this disclosure will be updated before the script ships. The rules below are the ceiling, not a menu of extras.
- Display ads only. Standard labeled units. No native advertorial that looks like a guide.
- No affiliate links. No cut on GitHub, winget, Docker, or a competitor checkout.
- No sponsored content. A compare note cannot be paid to prefer Stirling PDF or to prefer Acrobat, PDF24, Sejda, Bento PDF, or iLovePDF.
- No vendor payment. Stirling-Tools and Stirling PDF Inc. do not pay for a command, a rank, or a filename here. Competitors do not pay either.
Placement limits if ads go on: units stay out of the install command, out of the copy control, and out of the space between the H1 and the winget or Docker command. Units stay off the GitHub file link under the command and a labeled unit may sit after the install notes, never as a second MSI host. The disclosure here will name the network when one exists; Until it names one, treat ads as off.
No affiliate, no sponsored content, no vendor payment
Comparisons with Acrobat, iLovePDF, Bento, PDF24; Sejda are unpaid shape checks. Adobe remains linked at acrobat.adobe.com because that is the official origin, not because of a deal. The same is true for tools.pdf24.org, sejda.com, bentopdf.com, and ilovepdf.com.
A referral code is not added to StirlingTools.StirlingPDF. GitHub Releases is not wrapped in a pay-per-click hop. The first screen of Home, Windows, Docker, or Winget is not for sale. If a future network requires an ads.txt line, that line will match the network named here and nowhere else. How commands are verified: editorial policy.
