Could you build this?
Partial Client-side PDF handling and billing estimates are vibe-codeable, but accurate color-separation and ink-coverage preflight requires deep PDF content-stream and prepress knowledge.
What it would actually take: Use pdf.js or a similar parser in the browser to walk content streams and detect CMYK, RGB, and spot color operators, then compute per-page ink coverage. The hard parts are accurate color-space conversion and handling of edge-case PDFs, which need prepress expertise and a test corpus of real print files. The planimeter needs careful scale calibration from drawing metadata.
