I think you should be able to make some money by offering your services to corporations. They don't know that everything runs on the browser, but they will like and pay for the idea of adding this capability to their website (pdftools.acmecorp.com). Start with lawyers, I think they are prime customers (pdfux.biglaw.com). Once you explain to their IT that you are only leveraging the clien-side processing, they'll leave you alone. All they would do is give you access to a vps or a vm in their hypervisor, or heck you could dockerize and sell it branded to them(biglaw inc all over the place). I do believe that's called.. bespoke service!! lol.. and of course.. the annual support income.

I agree with selling to corporations. However, most big law lawyers will need a higher level of PDF functionality. At a quick glance, I notice that the tools can't manipulate bookmarks, which are required for electronic filing in most courts.

Interesting thinking...
