team-tools
A drop-in PDF viewer that brings real-time cursors, comments, and annotations to your app. Turn your PDFs into active workspaces in minutes.
What to expect from an ideal product
- Drop the PDF viewer component into your existing app and get live cursors showing where each team member is reading or editing in real-time
- Enable instant commenting where users can click anywhere on the PDF to leave feedback that appears immediately for all collaborators without page refreshes
- Set up shared annotations that sync across all devices so when someone highlights text or draws on the document, everyone sees it right away
- Configure user presence indicators that show who's currently viewing each page and what they're doing, making remote teamwork feel more connected
- Implement the collaboration features in minutes rather than building custom real-time infrastructure from scratch with websockets and conflict resolution
