ai-ad4 0d3620c5ec docs(spike-D): record deferral — needs PDFium+Skia build (§14 step 7) 
Spike D cannot be built in the M0 development environment: PDFium has no
system package and its Chromium-scale build exceeds the available disk
(29 GB free) and RAM (7.8 GB); Skia likewise builds from source. The spike
specifically tests the divergence between *our own Skia display-list
renderer* (which is M2 work, doesn't exist yet) and *PDFium* — it cannot be
substituted with another renderer without testing a different question.

This is not a go/no-go block on M0: the four buildable spikes (A, B, C, E)
give go signals, and the §2.5 predictive tier is an optimisation whose
fallback (authoritative tier alone) is recorded in ADR-0001. Spike D is
naturally a late-M0/early-M2 activity — it depends on M2's L3 renderer —
and must run on a machine with the bandwidth to build PDFium and Skia
(a CI runner or build server). The pixel-diff harness scaffolding is
already in place for when the renderers exist.

FreePDFEditor

A cross-platform native desktop PDF editor with a true WYSIWYG interface and full content editing: edit existing text with reflow, replace images, manipulate vector objects, plus annotations, forms, signatures, and page assembly.

  • Stack: C++20, Qt 6.7 (Widgets shell, custom canvas), CMake, vcpkg.
  • License: GPL-3.0-or-later (see LICENSES/GPL-3.0-or-later.txt). Qt is dynamically linked under LGPL-3.0.
  • Targets: Windows 10+, macOS 12+ (Intel + Apple Silicon), Linux (X11/Wayland).

This repository contains the source and build infrastructure. The full engineering plan and roadmap live in docs/plan.md; architecture decision records are under docs/adr/.

Status

Pre-M0. This is the initial repository scaffold described in §14 of the plan: CMake + vcpkg skeleton, governance docs, CI matrix, packaging pipeline, an empty-window application shell, the pixel-diff harness scaffolding, and the Spike A (QPDF verbatim round-trip) harness. The feasibility spikes that gate the project run on top of this scaffolding.

Building

cmake --preset default
cmake --build --preset default
ctest --preset default

See CONTRIBUTING.md for the full build setup, gate matrix, and coding standard.

Source control

All code is developed on the project Gitea instance at https://gitea.lm.je/ai-ad4/freepdfeditor per docs/plan.md §13. See SECURITY.md for vulnerability reporting.
