- People making small corrections to existing PDFs
- Worth noticing
- The page names pdf.js for reading and pdf-lib for writing, and says editing runs in a worker on the user's machine.
Field notes
The homepage includes a three-page annual-letter example with an edit list, selected-text properties, and a before-and-after fit comparison. It says paragraphs retain their line breaks, baselines, and indents until edited, then flow within the paragraph's width; reading and writing are attributed to pdf.js and pdf-lib. The page also lists Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari support and links to engineering notes and a GitHub repository.
