Could you build this?

Partial While basic PDF rendering and annotation can be implemented with PDF.js, modifying existing text streams and font encodings in client-side PDF binaries is notoriously complex.

What it would actually take: Building an in-browser PDF editor requires libraries like PDF.js for rendering and pdf-lib or custom WebAssembly-compiled C++ PDF engines (like MuPDF or PDFium) for document manipulation. The hardest part is inline text editing, which requires parsing complex PDF operator streams, measuring exact glyph bounding boxes, font subset embedding, and updating cross-reference tables without corrupting the document. This demands deep technical knowledge of the ISO 32000 PDF specification.
