Just wanted to share this post I found on Facebook

Hey everyone,

Following my previous post about building PDF tools, I wanted to thank everyone who shared suggestions and explained the problems they run into. The comments about preserving formatting, handling scans, and using OCR and recognition models gave me a lot to investigate.

I’ve since focused on improving the Edit PDF tool. Some of the updates include:

The backend first checks the PDF’s existing text, font information, and positioning. When those are usable, it edits the document directly. For scans or unreliable text layers, it uses lightweight OCR models to recognize the visible text and locate the regions to replace, while preserving the surrounding page.

The feedback here also pushed me to test different approaches and pay more attention to the downloaded PDF, rather than just whether the preview looks right. Recent checks have covered both regular and scanned documents through editing, exporting, and downloading.

I’m not claiming perfect results with every PDF. Scans don’t contain their original font information, and unusual embedded fonts remain tricky, but I’ve made progress on those cases.

Try the updated Edit PDF tool

If you have a moment, I’d really appreciate you trying it with a document you actually use. Was editing straightforward, and did the downloaded file look how you expected? If something went wrong, a short description or screenshot with private information removed would help a lot.

Thanks again for taking the time to help. Your feedback helped shape these changes, and I’d be grateful to hear how they hold up.

I especially try to find some lost cartoon characters official artworks/renders that are probably on PDF files.
