PaperPilot

PaperPilot is a document utility written in Rust and pitched as a local copilot for PDF work. The README aims it at two audiences at once: AI agents that need to manipulate documents programmatically, and people handling files themselves. The central promise is that processing runs on your own hardware, so documents are never sent off the machine.

The README sorts the tool's functions into four groups. Under page organisation it covers combining files, splitting them, rotating or removing individual pages, rearranging their sequence, pulling out a chosen subset, imposing booklets, and laying several pages onto one sheet in a grid. Compression stands alone as the optimisation feature. Extraction covers pulling out raw text and running optical character recognition, which the README says is a pure-Rust build of PaddleOCR running on the rten runtime.

A security group lists watermarking, checking whether digital signatures are valid, stripping signatures, scanning for personal data, and a deeper sanitisation pass. Finally, an Office-data group converts spreadsheets into JSON or CSV.

The supplied evidence contains no build steps, dependency notes or usage examples. Because the code is Rust, readers should consult the repository README for the real toolchain requirements and invocation details rather than assuming a command.

GitHub's metadata records the license as NOASSERTION, meaning no standard license was detected. The evidence therefore cannot tell you the terms under which the code may be reused.
