Well, all the agents, including free and even local ones could do this for less money and without AGPL violations. Just tell them what you need to change/merge and they literally do it just fine. Or they could write reusable python/whatever scripts for you. These days $12/month for a vibe-coded PDF editor running locally is a robbery.

Several open-source alternatives already exist. All are powered by pdf-lib, with the first two also utilizing PyMuPDF. - BentoPDF (12.3k stars): https://github.com/alam00000/bentopdf - PDFCraft (3.6k stars): https://github.com/PDFCraftTool/pdfcraft - PDFLince (31 stars): https://github.com/GSiesto/pdflince Since this project likely uses the same stack, I’m not sure what the selling point of a more limiting product is.
