When to use local processing for your PDF files
Why local processing is often the cleanest choice for simple document operations.
Keep the logic simple
If the action can run in the browser, there is no need for a backend just for appearance.
Reduce technical debt
Fewer proxies, fewer secrets and fewer public surfaces make production simpler.
Know where to stop
Some heavier features require a different model, and that should be stated clearly.
Frequently asked questions
Is local processing enough for every use case?
