Connected browser-local PDF workflow

v10.84 connects page organization, merge/split, rotation/deletion/extraction, conversion, compression, annotation, forms, metadata, page sizing, N-up/booklet/poster printing, comparison, and repeated header/footer work without replacing the established historical PDF engines.

PDF processing boundaries

These tools operate within browser memory and the capabilities of pdf-lib/pdf.js and the existing local engines. Encrypted, malformed, scanned, XFA, unusual forms, complex signatures, OCR-dependent documents, and advanced desktop-editor features can require specialist software. Always verify generated files before discarding the source.
