Implementation Notes
- This solution requires the following libraries:
- For a production environment, you might want to:
- Host the PDF.js worker locally
- Implement server-side cropping for very large files
- Add more sophisticated content detection
- Implement user authentication if needed
- The auto-detect content feature is simplified in this example. A real implementation might use more advanced algorithms to detect page content boundaries.
