Could you build this?
Partial A web UI for uploading PDFs and editing text is vibe-codeable, but rendering and modifying underlying PDF objects in-place while matching original embedded fonts, kerning, and vector flows without reflow corruption is notoriously hard.
What it would actually take: A production implementation requires a robust PDF engine (like MuPDF, PDFTron, or C++ Poppler bindings) capable of font descriptor inspection, embedded glyph extraction, optical font identification, and complex PDF DOM stream rewriting. Scanned documents require a high-accuracy OCR pipeline (such as Tesseract or AWS Textract) that outputs bounding boxes with precise font metrics. Significant PDF specification and desktop graphics rendering expertise is necessary to prevent visual layout breakage upon editing.
