Business Idea:
A niche online tool that enables users to easily add customizable borders to all pages of a PDF with a live preview, catering to academics, professionals, and creatives needing quick document formatting.
Problem:
Many users struggle with consistent, professional-looking borders on documents like academic papers, official reports, or branding materials, often spending time editing each page manually or using complex software.
Solution:
An intuitive web app built with Django and React that allows users to upload PDFs, select or customize borders with live previews, and add custom images for creative or branding purposes—streamlining the process.
Target Audience:
Academics, students, professionals, marketers, and designers who frequently work with PDFs and value quick, customizable formatting tools.

Offer a free basic version with core features and a premium tier that includes saved templates, advanced border tools, and custom branding options.
Unique Selling Proposition:
A super-specific, easy-to-use utility with live preview, custom images, and niche focus—filling a gap for quick PDF border customization, unlike bulk or generic PDF editors.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple free online version to gather user feedback, validate demand, then introduce premium features based on user needs. Promote on relevant forums and social media channels for targeted outreach.
