Could you build this?

Partial Browser-based viewing, editing, and simple conversions are vibe-codeable with existing libraries, but high-fidelity Office-to-PDF and layout-preserving edits are hard.

What it would actually take: A web app would combine pdf.js for viewing, pdf-lib for editing, and a server-side conversion pipeline (LibreOffice or a commercial SDK) for Office files. The hard part is faithful rendering and conversion of Office documents, which needs deep knowledge of file formats and significant engineering time. Serverless conversion at scale also adds cost and security concerns.
