Description
PDFz scans paper, edits the text already inside a PDF, runs OCR on the device, signs, fills forms and converts to Word, Excel and PowerPoint. No account. Everything runs on the iPhone except Office conversion, which uses a server that deletes your file when it's done.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic document scanner using iOS VisionKit is vibe-codeable, but in-place PDF text/font replacement, vector layout editing, and high-fidelity PDF-to-Office reconstruction require complex document parsing libraries.
What it would actually take: Building real in-place PDF editing requires native Swift with PDFKit and low-level CoreGraphics/PDF stream parsing (or a commercial SDK like PSPDFKit/Foxit) to modify PDF content streams, subset fonts, and reconstruct text layout matrices. The backend office conversion pipeline requires document reconstruction servers (like LibreOffice headless, Apache POI, or specialized OCR-to-DOCX conversion engines).
