SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides a visual, real-time PDF viewing and annotation workspace so users can collaboratively review, highlight, stamp, and place signatures without extracting or streaming raw text. It replaces manual screenshot-and-comment workflows and makes form filling and visual approval processes immediate and verifiable.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Interactive viewing that renders a PDF in a live session and returns a viewUUID for subsequent actions.
  • Rich annotation support including highlights, underlines, strikethroughs, notes, free text, shapes, stamps, and image-based signatures.
  • Navigation and verification tools such as page navigation, search, screenshots for visual confirmation, and limited text extraction for context-aware annotation.
  • Form handling that maps fillable and non-fillable fields via visual bounding boxes and supports guided or programmatic filling with user confirmation.
  • Use Case: Legal teams collaboratively mark up a contract, add APPROVED stamps, place signatures on specific pages, and download the annotated PDF for records.

Quick Start

Open the PDF URL in the interactive viewer and ask to highlight, annotate, fill fields, or place a signature where needed.
