Terminal

sudo apt install -y fuse3 wgetwget https://downloads.fynepdf.com/linux/FynePDF-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImagechmod +x FynePDF-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage./FynePDF-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

Then, to find it in your apps menu: Settings, Default PDF viewer, Add to apps menu.

2Right-click the file, open Properties and allow it to run as a program.
3Double-click it. Add to apps menu, in Settings, puts it in your apps menu.

Check your downloadOptional

The AppImage is signed with FynePDF's release key, so you can make sure your copy is ours and hasn't been changed.

Release key fingerprint51E9 EB79 8FC6 6877 DCF216C5 D9CA 4930 D63A C317

Terminal

wget https://fynepdf.com/FynePDF-release-key.ascwget https://downloads.fynepdf.com/linux/FynePDF-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage.ascgpg --import FynePDF-release-key.ascgpg --verify FynePDF-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage.asc /opt/fynepdf/FynePDF.AppImage

It should say "Good signature from FynePDF Releases" and end with the fingerprint above. gpg also warns that the key isn't certified. That's normal for a key you've just added.

The last line checks the copy the commands above put in /opt. To check another copy, end the line with that file instead:

Downloaded with the button~/Downloads/FynePDF-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage
On a Chromebook~/FynePDF-1.0.0-x86_64.AppImage

Wayland or X11: FynePDF runs on both. On Wayland, its window shows the FynePDF icon once it's in your apps menu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Linux systems does it run on?

64-bit (x86-64) Linux from about 2022 on: Ubuntu 22.04 and later, Debian 12, Kali, current Fedora, and Intel or AMD Chromebooks with Linux turned on. It runs on Wayland and X11. ARM computers aren't supported.

What is an AppImage?

One file that holds the whole app. Make it executable and open it: there's nothing to install and no root needed. To remove FynePDF, delete the file.

How do I update it?

When there's a new version, FynePDF shows a card in its left bar that opens this page. Download the new AppImage and use it in place of the old one.

How do I add FynePDF to my apps menu?

Open Settings, then Default PDF viewer, and choose Add to apps menu. FynePDF then shows in your apps menu and in Open With for PDFs.

Does the Linux app work offline?

Yes, once you've signed in. The PDF tools, Edit PDF, Create and printing work offline, and paid features keep working for up to 30 days between connections. The AI tools, your Library and cloud drives need the internet.

Is the Linux app free?

Yes. 43 of its 45 PDF tools are free, with no daily limits or file caps. Bates numbering, PDF/A, many files in one run, Print Studio, the Pro templates and the AI features come with a paid plan.
