Could you build this?
Partial Many tools, such as merge, split and compress, are vibe-codeable with browser libraries, but high-fidelity conversion between PDF and Word, Excel or PowerPoint is a hard layout-reconstruction problem.
What it would actually take: Use pdf-lib, PDF.js, Tesseract.js and WASM builds of image libraries for most tools. The hard parts are PDF-to-Office conversion with faithful layout, tables and fonts, which typically needs specialised engines or significant layout-analysis work, and verifying that files never leave the browser. Expertise in document formats and layout engines is required for a credible version.
