Getting Started with Papercraft

Requirements

Papercraft requires a modern web browser with JavaScript enabled.

The application uses browser-compatible PDF processing libraries.

Its interface references:

The complete PDF processing experience depends on the available browser features and loaded libraries.

Navigate to:

The application's default route redirects to the PDF Viewer.

The supplied HTML includes the following navigation tabs:

The router additionally defines placeholder routes for Split, Extract, Redact, and Compare.

These additional routes are not included in the supplied main navigation.

Click the appropriate navigation tab.

Papercraft uses URL hash-based routing, allowing the application to change tools without requiring a completely separate HTML page.

For example:

#/viewer

opens the Viewer.

#/watermark

opens the Watermark tool.

The application highlights the currently selected navigation link.

This makes it easier to identify which tool is active.

Use the file selection controls provided by the selected tool to choose a document from your device.

The PDF is then processed through the browser-side tool implementation.

You can navigate between tools using the top navigation.

The supplied router recreates the selected tool's interface when its route is activated.

Do not assume that unfinished work or unsaved settings will persist when switching tools.

The interface includes a theme toggle control.

The HTML provides separate light-theme and dark-theme favicon assets.

The exact theme persistence behavior is not established by the supplied application code.

The About route summarizes the application's design and available functionality.

It describes:

For tools not yet implemented, Papercraft displays a placeholder message:

This tool will be added in the follow-up modules.
Current features remain intact.

This indicates that the selected function is not available in the supplied version.
