Could you build this?
Partial A basic rich-text editor can be built using existing frameworks like TipTap or ProseMirror, but a multi-surface document engine with print/PDF layout pagination is notoriously difficult.
What it would actually take: Building a full document engine with true print layout, custom pagination, and cross-format conversion (Markdown, HTML, PDF) requires a custom document model, virtualized rendering, and a custom layout engine (similar to Google Docs' migration to Canvas). The engineering requires deep expertise in typography, CSS Paged Media/canvas text measurement, and complex diffing algorithms.
