Planned Features
| Tool | Route | Intended Purpose | Current Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Merge | #/merge | Combine PDF documents | Placeholder |
| Organize | #/organize | Rearrange PDF pages | Placeholder |
| Split | #/split | Divide documents | Placeholder |

Current Behavior
Selecting one of these routes in the supplied implementation displays a temporary information panel.
The panel contains the tool name and this message:
This tool will be added in the follow-up modules.
Current features remain intact.The placeholder routes do not yet provide working PDF operations.
Merge
The Merge route is reserved for functionality intended to combine documents.
The current source does not establish how files will be selected, ordered, combined, or exported.
Organize
The Organize route is reserved for page organization functionality.
Controls for reordering, rotating, duplicating, or deleting pages are not established by the supplied implementation.
Split
The Split route is reserved for PDF splitting functionality.
The exact method of choosing page groups, output documents, or filenames has not yet been defined in the supplied code.
Extract
The Extract route is reserved for extracting PDF information or pages.
Its precise extraction capabilities are not implemented in the supplied source.
Redact
The Redact route is reserved for sensitive-content removal functionality.
Important Security Consideration
Secure PDF redaction requires removing underlying sensitive information, not merely drawing a black rectangle over it.
Until a complete redaction implementation has been provided and verified, Papercraft should not be used for security-sensitive redaction.
Compare
The Compare route is reserved for document comparison functionality.
The source does not establish whether comparison will be visual, text-based, page-based, or metadata-based.
Scrub
The Scrub route is reserved for document cleanup functionality.
The source does not establish which information will be removed or whether the feature will provide verified metadata sanitization.
