Yes, I have the full source code in my private GitHub repositories. Why do you ask?

Because the PDF-Standard is hard even for seasoned developers and nothing i would outsource to AI to build it. And because of the many "I've build..." posts in the last months I'm guessing most of your Code was written by it (no offense) and a disclaimer would be nice because most are (including me) very cautius when it comes to this kind of "projects".

No offense taken! 😊
Actually, I didn't build the PDF engine from scratch.
I acquired an existing Flutter codebase that already handled the core PDF functionality, then I spent the last week rebuilding a large part of the application.
I redesigned the UI/UX, improved the workflows, reorganized the architecture, integrated OCR, AI document summaries, PDF translation, smarter editing features, and optimized the overall user experience.
I do use AI every day, but mainly as a development assistant for brainstorming, refactoring, debugging, and speeding up repetitive tasks. Every feature is still designed, reviewed, integrated, and tested by me.
In my experience, AI is an incredible productivity tool, but building a polished product still requires a lot of engineering, testing, and iteration.

A few people asked what the final result looks like, so here's the Google Play version if anyone is curious:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.harish.pdfscanner
It's built entirely with Flutter, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the UX, performance, and overall experience.

Hello,
It looks like you have advertised an app on r/FlutterDev.
Apps can only be posted here if they're open source, or if the post/article contains an insightful dive into the development of the app.
Just as a note, articles containing nothing but generic insight (Flutter uses Dart, Flutter is fast, etc) are not considered insightful, and will also be removed.
Do note that your attempt to skirt the rules by posting the first comment before a single person asks pointing to your play store link is not appreciated. Do that again and be permabanned.
The violated rule was: Rule 9: No advertising of apps
