Could you build this?

Partial The 34-tool UI and most operations (merge, split, rotate, watermark, sign) are well served by open libraries like pdf-lib and pdf.js, so a solo builder can vibe-code the shell. Office conversions with good layout fidelity and OCR at volume are the harder parts.

What it would actually take: Likely a web frontend with client-side PDF manipulation via pdf-lib or PDF.js, plus a backend worker pool running LibreOffice or a commercial converter for Word, Excel and PowerPoint round-trips and Tesseract or OCRmyPDF for OCR. The hard parts are conversion fidelity on complex layouts, queueing and scaling heavy jobs, and GDPR-compliant ephemeral file handling in Germany. This needs someone who has run document-processing pipelines, not just a prompt-driven build.
