about a month ago after seeing @liftlines post about a simple pdf editor (https://warpcast.com/liftlines/0x183ce525), I was trying to see if I could build something really simple with just AI.

after trying v0, lovable, claude, chatgpt and bolt, I realized all got stuck on an infinite loop trying to import the pdf.js library. the best looking editor had been done by v0 so I took that code, fixed the import and released an open source version at https://github.com/alvesjtiago/pdf-editor.

feel free to fork, modify, extend or contribute. i'm not looking to support it long term since there's quite a few alternatives out there but it was a fun experiment.

it was fine for basic functions. didn’t get a chance to explore a lot because I wanted to build a version with the least input from my side.

I think my main realizations were: a lot of unused code and libraries were added, conflicting issues on github cause the llm to go on a loop without solving the issue.

How was pdf.js? Did you look at other libraries?
