There are a few versions of tools like this, or similar, available. Here's mine:

I used existing wasm compiles of PDF tools. This use of wasm is pretty awesome to me - I often end up working on very restricted desktop clients with little customization possible, but they always let me run a browser.

Seems to be stuck at “Loading” for me on iOS safari.

That website loads WASM by embedding base64 in the HTML, which is good for saving it as a single file but horrible for WebKit support ("The operation is insecure", it complains), transfer size, and speed.

Thanks for that - I haven't tried it there...

Yup - single file operation was a design goal, but I bet there's a better way to get it working than the hack I used.

Looks cool
