Partial A simple PDF text-replacement UI is buildable, but keeping the original embedded font and cleanly removing the old text is hard because PDFs use subset fonts and arbitrary glyph positioning.
What it would actually take: Use a low-level PDF library such as PyMuPDF/MuPDF or pdf.js to locate text runs, extract embedded fonts, and rewrite content streams with redaction. The hard parts are font subsetting, glyph-availability checks for new characters, and reflowing text without visible artifacts, which requires PDF internals expertise and extensive edge-case testing.
