M10: web OCR docs, parity and roadmap after the port onto #977 (ocr.ocr-web)

Hosting notes for the models and workers, the platform parity text, the
ocr.ocr-web parity entry (now citing the ported tests, with the known
limits: the page runs the cleaning steps, the Verify screen re-reads on
the page, ocrs only), and the roadmap logs.

 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-10-12 | minor | Web OCR (`ocr.ocr-web`) shipped after a browser check |
+| 2026-10-12 | minor | Web platform row: OCR downloads its models on first use and reads in Web Workers with SIMD (`ocr.ocr-web`, partial); what's left is speed |
 | 2026-10-11 | minor | Web printers row: printing through the browser's print dialog (gap 4 closed); Web platform row no longer lists printing |
 | 2026-10-10 | major | Created from the code, `vendor/README.md`, `.github/workflows/release.yml`, the print crate's README and user issues |
 | 2026-10-10 | minor | Windows printing shipped (#756): the Windows row's gap is closed; the web row keeps "printing" |

 | M7 | Content editing (text, images, header/footer, watermark) | 250–500 | 20% | 100–180 | Done: header & footer, watermarks, backgrounds, Bates; added text and images that stay editable (move, resize, format, rotate, flip, crop, replace); links (Link tool, Link Properties, create from URLs, remove all). Missing: editing existing text and images in place (the longest pole), image/PDF watermarks |
 | M8 | Security + redaction | 100–180 | 68% | 15–30 | Done: opening protected documents, permissions, Protect Using Password, Remove security; redaction (mark text/areas/pages, Search & Redact with patterns, apply removing glyphs, image pixels, vectors, XObject content, annotations and fields, verification, full rewrite on save); Remove hidden information and Sanitize.<br>Done since: redaction codes (U.S. FOIA and Privacy Act sets as overlay text, in Redaction properties and `redact_mark`). Redaction cleans indirect and form structure references, preserving surviving form tags. Redaction retires inherited resource dictionaries, so a parent `/Pages` can't keep a removed XObject reachable; unredacted pages are left untouched. Image redaction removes alternate images and unsupported masks only on affected images. Changed marked-content spans lose replacement descriptions; untouched spans keep theirs. Hidden-text cleanup retires unused named descriptions across inherited/shared page and form resources (64 focused tests and scoped Rust 1.96 Clippy/wasm checks pass; publication CI pending). Retained text/image-bearing or unreadable tiling-pattern cells now make Apply refuse atomically after a bounded check of rewritten resources; fully removed cells still apply, and cross-page retention is checked. The redaction audit counts a filled cover that hides half of any one word of a long line (#2662), applied or not. Phone-pattern redaction also matches labelled Italian geographic numbers with `+39` and a slash after the area code (#3205 follow-up); unlabelled international slash numbers remain unsupported. Missing: certificate security, custom redaction code sets and pattern locales, DCT re-encoding |
 | M9 | Signatures (PAdES, validation) | 160–280 | 60% | 40–70 | Done: new `sign` crate (DER, X.509, CMS, PKCS #12 on RustCrypto; aws-lc-rs for RSA private keys); PAdES B-B signing (visible, invisible, existing fields, certification with DocMDP); validation with trust store and changes-after-signing classification; self-signed digital IDs; Signatures panel, message bar, sign dialogs; agent tools. Checked with pdfsig and OpenSSL.<br>Done since: macOS Keychain and Windows Current User Personal store signing (software-backed CNG keys), certificate viewer, signed documents protected from rewrites, page validation overlays separate from original signature artwork, placed in the widget's bottom-right corner as it lies on the page, at a quarter of its shorter side and 48 screen points at most, so they annotate the artwork from a corner instead of covering the middle of it and turn with the page and the view (a field falling under 32 screen points, as a page does when zoomed out to fit, keeps its outline), snapshot tabs that reuse instead of multiplying, named-layer signature appearances redrawn for their real state (#79; display, the CLI's render, exports and printing, never saves; captions in the interface language, Chinese in English; the badge stays). Missing: timestamps (B-T), LTV (DSS, OCSP, CRL), FieldMDP, smart cards, PKCS #11 |
-| M10 | OCR, create, export, print | 200–350 | 33% | 120–215 | Done: create from blank/text/PNG/JPEG/TIFF (multi-page)/GIF/BMP; export PNG/JPEG/TIFF and text; Print (Acrobat's sizing, n-up, booklet, poster, comments & forms, preview, the CUPS and Windows spoolers, print-ready PDF).<br>Done since: embedded/72/custom DPI choices for image imports; export all images; OCR (searchable image for pages, ranges and multiple files); single-sided cut-and-stack imposition with cut marks, through Print and doc_print; architectural/ANSI/large ISO sheet presets, Match page at 100% and PDF-scale preview (#599 follow-up); Create PDF from multiple files (PDFs, images and text, edited as pages in the grid); OCR can also read pictures on pages that have text, without adding that text twice (#1028). Model staging fetches SHA-256-verified ONNX detection/recognition files after the upstream RTEN URL brownout; runtime discovery prefers complete ONNX pairs per directory, then complete legacy RTEN pairs, without mixing formats or changing directory precedence. Done since: Word invoice export uses borderless inferred tables, floating positioned text/artwork only where text overlaps an image or is rotated, and per-page sizes, covered by synthetic invoice automation regressions (#773); printing on the web through the browser's print dialog, sheets drawn by PdfCraft (gap 4). Lossless image export applies per-component Decode, including Indexed mapping (#1201 partial). Existing 16-bit precision and color-management limits remain. #3532 partial: vector printing retains existing appearances with absent Subtype through a print-owned Form copy; source artwork stays unchanged. #3120: Office export reads form XObjects 50 levels deep, as the renderer does, and up to 50 000 a page; pages past that are listed in `truncated_pages`. Word table cells use the grid columns they span, including cells after a merged cell. Done since: text in a table slot covered by another cell's span remains as paragraph text in Word, HTML, RTF and PowerPoint. Missing: OCR languages beyond Latin, editable-text OCR output, full Office layout fidelity/import. Done since: dotted-leader contents entries stay in separate complete paragraphs (#1757) #2156 candidate: last selected print paper persists across sessions; other print preferences unchanged. Image export applies soft-mask Decode opacity intervals before resizing, including indirect entries and inverted ranges. Vector printing gives annotation appearances unoccupied XObject names so existing page artwork survives. Done since: Enhance scanned file cleans scanned pages in place (background removal, edge shadow removal, despeckle; the OCR text layer and comments stay; #4119 partial). |

 | M11 | Optimize, preflight, PDF/A/X/UA, print production | 200–350 | 18% | 80–140 | Done: new `optimize` crate: Reduce File Size and the PDF Optimizer (images measured where drawn, bicubic downsampling, JPEG/ZIP recompression only when smaller, discard objects and user data, Flate clean-up, resource merging, object streams). Target-version compatibility is partial: newer content is not detected or converted. Content stream boundaries preserve comments, split operands and graphics state when image fragments merge. Image downsampling includes page-local `/UserUnit` scaling when measuring physical resolution. Done since: reject invalid image and soft-mask dimensions with checked sizing (#2178); black-and-white images stored losslessly as CCITT Group 4 when smaller, averaged down to 300 ppi above 450 (halftones aside), Group 3 stored again as Group 4, and black-and-white RGB and indexed images that use only palette entries 0 and 1 packed to one bit. Missing: fonts and transparency panels, space audit, preflight, PDF/A/X/UA |
 | M12 | Accessibility, compare, measure, search, XFA | 200–380 | 30% | 90–160 | Done: new `a11y` crate with the Accessibility Checker (all 32 rules, report, Fix/Skip/Explain, options dialog and results panel, agent tools). Locatable figure, annotation and form findings highlight their page bounds. Character encoding accepts Identity-H/V with Adobe CJK collections and predefined CJK CMaps independently (#3673); per-glyph validation and embedded-font extraction remain separate.<br>Done since: 2D distance, perimeter and area measurements with persistent viewport calibration, snapping, live information and CSV export; a bounded, text-only auto-tag proposal tool for one page. Marking a figure decorative rewrites only that stream (#1324). An XFA radio item whose value contains a space is written back unchanged (#1319). Done since: #2569: Growable multiline XFA text reflows after edits, with undo/redo, save/reopen and print coverage; oversized fields still become read-only page text. Structured-data synchronization warnings retain accepted whitespace without relayout from stale data. Done since: #2572: Every repeated page-master button resolves its own field to the shared XFA click script, including print buttons. Done since: #2570: Dynamic XFA rich-text fields carry exData/maxLength into AcroForm MaxLen for reported and enforced Unicode character limits, retained after save/reopen. Done since: #2589: Active XFA skips PDF-container fallback scripts while retaining requested messages and saved scripts; ordinary/static/unlaid-out documents and explicit console/field calls keep their existing behavior. Missing: writing proposed tags and parent tree, field autotag, visual Tags/Order/Content panels, Reading Order tool, compare, geospatial/3D measurement, search index, XFA<br>Reading colours: pending page backgrounds follow the configured colour (#2059). |
 | M13 | Automation (MCP, Action Wizard, CLI) + AI providers | 60–120 | 45% | 25–45 | Done: MCP resources (document info, text, page images); headless tool table (123 tools incl. signing, optimizing, initial view, links, stamps, data exchange, comment review, forms authoring and scripts, redaction, sanitize, print, add content), opt-in MCP server over stdio, CLI `run`/`tools` (closed stdout pipes exit cleanly), UI control channel with drag. Missing: Action Wizard, AI providers<br>Done since: CLI run and MCP reject missing, empty, repeated and option-valued --root arguments before any tool/script execution or MCP initialization. A single-hyphen directory name remains valid; synthetic CLI regressions preserve a would-be overwritten file. `text_find` also caps the per-page match ranges it materializes at the remaining result limit plus one continuation match. CLI robustness scans visit each directory once through overlapping roots and symlink aliases. |
