Could you build this?
Partial The UI and merge, split, and redact tools are browser-buildable with pdf-lib and similar libraries. Matching fonts for in-place PDF text edits and converting Word and Excel to PDF client-side are hard and need specialized document-rendering work.
What it would actually take: The client-side stack would be pdf.js or pdf-lib plus WebAssembly builds of rendering engines. The hard parts are font extraction and substitution for faithful in-place text editing, and high-fidelity Office-to-PDF conversion, which usually means compiling LibreOffice or a similar engine to WASM. That takes deep knowledge of the PDF and OOXML formats and significant engineering time.
