What I’d love feedback on
1) Which feature should be the “hero”: Edit, Compress, or OCR?
2) Any must-have tool you wish existed in a privacy-first PDF suite?
3) Is the branding clear: “TechRex Free PDF Editor / Free PDF Editor by TechRex”?
Thanks for checking it out — I’ll be replying to every comment.
