A Rust PDF workbench recreating Acrobat-style viewing, page organization, annotation, forms and document security workflows.
A Rust PDF workbench recreating Acrobat-style viewing, page organization, annotation, forms and document security workflows. The upstream README explicitly targets Adobe Acrobat workflows and describes a separate Rust implementation. Source review does not establish clean-room legality or full behavioral parity; no REA involvement is claimed by this listing. Office conversion, existing CJK text editing, non-Latin OCR and advanced signing remain limited. Upstream reports crashes or hangs found by fuzzing; do not assume hostile-file safety. We have not installed, run or audited it.
