Install on Windows

Jump link

Download and install Orenvo PDF on Windows. Everything runs locally and no account is required.

  1. 01Download the installer (.exe or .msi) from the GitHub Releases page.
  2. 02Run it. Windows SmartScreen will likely show "Windows protected your PC."
  3. 03Click "More info", then click "Run anyway".
  4. 04Finish the installer and launch Orenvo PDF from the Start menu.
The first-download warning appears because Orenvo PDF is not yet code-signed. It is safe to continue if you downloaded it from the official KenoLabs GitHub release.

Install on macOS

Jump link

Download and install Orenvo PDF on macOS. The first launch needs one Terminal step because the app is not yet notarized.

  1. 01Download the .dmg from the GitHub Releases page and drag Orenvo PDF into your Applications folder.
  2. 02Try to open it — macOS will likely say it "can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" (Gatekeeper).
  3. 03Open Terminal: press Cmd + Space, type Terminal, and press Enter.
  4. 04Paste these two lines and press Enter: xattr -cr "/Applications/Orenvo PDF.app" then open "/Applications/Orenvo PDF.app"
  5. 05Orenvo PDF will open normally. After this first run, it keeps opening as usual.
