  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • simplepdf-embed

    PDF editor in the browser – add text, checkboxes, pictures, signatures to PDF files. Merge, rotate PDF pages – iframe, script and React component

  • I built https://github.com/bendersej/simplepdf-embed for that very purpose, allowing devs to focus on shipping a nice (but simple) PDF editor in a short amount of time without having to build it from scratch.

  • pdf-lib

    Create and modify PDF documents in any JavaScript environment

  • Sure! You can build your own PDF editor with a combination of PDF.js and PDF-lib

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • pdfsam

    PDFsam, a desktop application to split, merge, mix, rotate PDF files and extract pages

  • PDF Sam is open source and can handle that https://pdfsam.org/

  • open-pdf-sign

    Digitally sign PDF files from your commandline

  • Also on the potential roadmap (I need focus my efforts so I need to make sure that this would be useful to others as well), I would most likely rely on open-source implementations such as this one: https://github.com/open-pdf-sign/open-pdf-sign
