About PDF Annotator

PDF Annotator is built for people who need to mark up contracts and study notes collaboratively. Each request becomes a queued job with validated uploads, temporary object storage, and a time-limited download URL. When a conversion provider is not configured yet, the page still ships full SEO content and the API returns an honest NOT_ENABLED result instead of a fake file. Annotation tooling ships behind a provider flag so we never invent fake markups.
