I see the author is here — I wonder if you also handle PDFs? Quick look at the site indicates that yes, but could you tell more about it? Do you also have a custom parser/serializer? Do you allow for PDF editing? The reason for asking, is that I've had a shower thought of building custom PDF/doc reader for myself, that would allow me to easily take notes and integrate with Anki. Been doing that in Obsidian with the pdf plugin, but it's too slow. At the same time, I've heard that PDF spec is not easy to work with, so I'm curious about your experience on that front. |

There's actually an example PDF in the bundle if you click "Fetch Example" from the web preview at: https://tritium.legal/preview.
Under the hood, Tritium is using PDFium[1]. That's the same library used by Chrome, for example. The PDF spec is another animal that will be tackled in due course, but most legal users only need to view and comment on PDFs.
Try and find a binding to PDFium from your language of choice and start at that layer. PDFs are complex beasts, most of which complexity it may not be necessary to try to tackle in the first instance.
