Partial The core workflows (text extraction, replacement, obfuscation) are feasible to vibe-code, but a native Go PDF engine with rendering and OCR is a large, spec-heavy undertaking. The page does not show whether it wraps existing engines.
What it would actually take: Practical builds wrap tesseract for OCR and a rendering engine such as pdfium or MuPDF, with a Go PDF object parser for editing. A fully native Go renderer requires deep knowledge of the PDF spec (fonts, colour spaces, transparency) and substantial time.
