V2 Coming July 2026 — Currently running V1

Edit PDFs Like Google Docs

No tools to select. No modes to switch. Open a PDF and start editing — the document is the interface. Everything runs in your browser.

Toolless Editing

Traditional PDF editors force you through tool palettes: select the text tool, click a region, enter edit mode, type, exit. PDFox V2 eliminates all of this.

Because the PDF renders as native DOM elements, every piece of text is already editable. Click anywhere and start typing. Select text with your mouse like you would in any document. There's no "edit mode" because the document is always editable.

Full Graphic Control

Canvas-based editors render graphics as pixels — you can't select, move, or modify individual elements. In PDFox V2, every graphic is an SVG path in the DOM.

Select any shape, line, or vector graphic. Move it. Resize it. Change its color. You have the same level of control over graphics that you'd expect from a vector editor — but it's built right into the document.

V2 Feature Set

Direct DOM rendering unlocks capabilities that canvas-based editors simply cannot offer.

DOM-Native Text Editing

Text rendered as contentEditable HTML spans. Native browser selection, spell-check, IME support, and undo/redo — all for free.

WASM-Accelerated Processing

Rust-compiled WebAssembly for all performance-critical operations. Compression, cryptography, CMap parsing, and content stream decoding at near-native speed.

PDF 2.0 Native

Built on ISO 32000-2:2020 — the latest PDF standard. 256-bit AES encryption, CAdES signatures, UTF-8 encoding, Document Security Store, and tagged PDF namespaces. Plus PDF/A-1 through PDF/A-4 archival validation.

CAdES Digital Signatures

PDF 2.0 CAdES signatures with PAdES support and Document Security Store for long-term validation. PKCS#7/CMS signing with embedded certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses.

Accessibility (PDF/UA)

PDF/UA compliance with tagged structure, reading order, and alt text. Create documents accessible to assistive technologies.

Interactive Forms

Create and fill PDF forms with native HTML form elements. Text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, and dropdowns rendered as real DOM inputs.

RTL & BiDi Text

Full UAX #9 bidirectional algorithm implementation. Arabic, Hebrew, and mixed-direction text rendered correctly with DOM-native direction support.

Full Color Space Support

DeviceRGB, CMYK, ICCBased, CalRGB, Lab, Separation, DeviceN, and Pattern color spaces. All 4 rendering intents with D50-to-D65 Bradford adaptation.

A Different Kind of Editor

Traditional PDF editors are built around tool palettes and mode switching. PDFox V2 is built around the document itself.

Traditional PDF Editors

  • Select tool from palette before editing
  • Switch between view and edit modes
  • Text editing in separate input overlay
  • Graphics rendered as flat pixels
  • Font approximation in edit mode
  • Manual coordinate positioning
  • Mode-specific keyboard shortcuts
  • Heavy UI to compensate for engine limits

PDFox V2
