Modular. Web-based. Easily Extendable.

This lightweight web app lets you manipulate PDF files directly in your browser. Currently supported features:

• 🔗 Merge two PDF files
• ✂️ Cut (remove) pages
• 🔃 Reorder pages
• ✏️🗑️ Change/Delete Metadata
• 🔑 Encrypt PDF files
• 🔑 Decrypt PDF files

Built with React (Vite) and Flask, the app is designed for fast, modular feature expansion. Want to add a new tool? Touch just three files and create one:

• routes.py (backend)
• main.jsx + a new component (frontend)
• LandingPage.jsx (frontend)

docker compose up --build

Launches the app in a production-like container environment.

Open the vite.config.js file in the frontend directory and replace:

target: 'http://backend:5000',

with:

target: 'http://localhost:5000',

cd ./backend
pip install -r requirements.txt
python main.py

cd ./frontend
npm install
npm run dev

1. Backend

   • Add your logic or new route in routes.py

2. Frontend

   • Create a new JSX component inside components/
   • Register the component and its route in main.jsx
   • Add a Tile in LandingPage.jsx
