SmartScreen? More info → Run anyway
Expected for this unsigned free test. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Code signing comes with a later paid build.
The free test build is not code-signed yet. That is why Windows shows a warning. After extract, DocMint.exe and START-HERE-WINDOWS.txt are in the folder. Stuck? Use START-DOCMINT-BUILD-4.cmd or email hello@docmintscan.com.
Built for practical Windows PDF work
Pages that make sense
Reorder, rotate and remove pages so receipts, forms and invoices become one readable PDF.
Clear markup fast
Add text, notes, highlights, lines, arrows, callouts and visible signatures before you send.
Local-first by default
Work on your Windows PC. Nothing uploads to DocMint unless you export or share the file yourself.
What you get
Everyday outcomes—without the Acrobat suite.

Good to know
Clear answers before you buy.
Is this a subscription?
No. €29.99 buys a lifetime Windows license. There is no monthly or yearly charge.
Can I try DocMint first?
Yes. Download the free Windows test build (~143 MB), extract the ZIP, open the folder, then double-click DocMint.exe.
What should I do when SmartScreen appears?
Click More info, then Run anyway. The warning appears because the current free test build is not code-signed yet. Always extract first—do not run from inside the zip.
Where are my PDFs processed?
DocMint is local-first. Everyday PDF work stays on your Windows device until you choose to export or share.
How do I receive my license?
Stripe handles the secure payment. Your license code is sent to the email address used at checkout.
One price. No subscription.
Try free. Keep it for €29.99.
Extract → DocMint.exe → More info → Run anyway if SmartScreen appears. Buy when it earns a place on your PC.
