This makes it easier to review the code and deploy it yourself privately

Good thoughts, but how do you run external executables like pdftk or even powerpoint from a browser using pure frontend html/js?

https://pdf-lib.js.org/ https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/

As far as I know these two libraries can achieve.

This may only support pdf

laekov commented 1 year ago

These libraries are really cool. So, the pdf editing part is possible to be in the frontend.

laekov commented 1 year ago

Unfortunately, one of the key motivation of this project is to convert pptx to pdf using MS Office on windows, which is not yet possible to be replaced by web.

Okay, I understand, I thought this was for pdf.
