Could you build this?

Partial A file-handler app and PDF viewing, signing, and highlighting are buildable with libraries like PDFium or pdf.js. Faithful on-device rendering and editing of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint layouts is a much harder problem.

What it would actually take: The PDF side can use PDFium or MuPDF, and the Office side needs a parser and layout engine for DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX, such as Apache POI or a commercial SDK. Editing Word text while preserving the original formatting is the hard part. Building it reliably takes deep document-format expertise or licensing a commercial rendering SDK.
