04 / Use cases
The proposal is done. The date changed. Keep your document and fix the detail.
05 / Next
The beta is available now. Here’s what’s coming by the end of 2026.
Use fonts installed on your computer in browsers that support local font access.
Explore a font resolver that generates missing glyphs to match the PDF’s font. Aim for ~99% font fidelity on a defined test set. This is a target, not a measured result.
Update form fields alongside the text already on the page.
Compare your changes with the original before you download.
Ask for a text edit in plain language, then review it before applying.
Build on the 1,000+ font library with better matching across more documents and writing systems.
Use the beta today. Leave your email and I’ll let you know when v1 is ready. Just one email.
