Score: 4.7/10 (Innovation: 3, Technical: 5, Documentation: 4, Utility: 6)

PurePDF is a browser-based PDF toolset (merge, split, compress, rotate, reorder, delete) built on qpdf compiled to WebAssembly, ensuring files never leave the user's device. While the client-side processing approach is not novel, the privacy-first execution and transparency around network requests make it a practical alternative to upload-based PDF services.

Target audience: general users, privacy-conscious individuals, office workers
