Most online PDF tools upload documents to a server, which is a poor fit for contracts, invoices, and identity documents. Ridocs takes the client-side route: the browser does the merging, page editing, and image conversion, and the result is downloaded directly.
What was built
Build each tool as its own focused page: Merge PDFs, Organize PDF, and Photo to PDF.
Render visual page previews so users can see what they are reordering, rotating, or removing.
Use drag and drop for the merge queue and page grid instead of numeric ordering inputs.
Product decisions
Process files with pdf-lib in the browser; there is no upload, account, or server-side storage.
Keep the tool list small and mark unfinished tools, such as Compress PDF, as coming soon rather than shipping them half-done.
Publish the source so the client-side claim can be verified.
Delivered functionality

Organize a single PDF: reorder, rotate, and remove pages
Convert JPG photos to PDF with page-size control, as one file or separate files
