Could you build this?
Partial While basic PDF tools can use pdf-lib, client-side conversion of complex Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files to PDF along with browser-based OCR and true document redaction requires complex WASM compilation.
What it would actually take: Requires compiling LibreOffice or similar heavy document engines to WebAssembly alongside Tesseract WASM and PDF rendering libraries (PDF.js / pdf-lib). Bridging memory management, multi-threading in Web Workers, and accurate fidelity reproduction across complex DOCX/XLSX layouts requires deep systems and WebAssembly compilation expertise.
