I need a straightforward, browser-based PDF editor that mirrors the simplicity of DocFly but remains lean enough to run on low-cost hosting. The goal is to let a user open a PDF in the browser, make quick changes, then download the updated file—no bloated feature set, just smooth, reliable core editing. Here’s what I’m after: • A single-page web interface (vanilla JS or a lightweight framework is fine) that loads quickly and feels intuitive on both desktop and mobile browsers. • Client-side handling where possible—leveraging libraries like [login to view URL]—so server load and hosting costs stay minimal. • Basic edit actions: overwrite existing text, insert new text boxes, reposition elements, and save changes to a fresh PDF. • Clean code, clear comments, and a concise deployment guide so I can drop the project onto shared hosting and be live in minutes. Deliverables 1. Working web editor (source + minified build). 2. Brief README covering setup, config options, and any third-party libraries used. 3. A short video or screenshots demonstrating the edit-save flow. I’m after something fast, dependable, and easy to maintain—no enterprise bells and whistles, just the essentials done well. If you’ve built with [login to view URL] or similar tools before and can keep the footprint small, let’s talk.
