Lyonite updates

What changed in the tools, what it means for results, and what the limits are. Curated, not every commit.

Simpler downloads, mixed-file merging and page controls

Page tools download in one action and keep the working document open. Merge accepts PDFs, JPGs and PNGs.

Edit metadata in place and move between PDF tools

View, Edit and Remove share one working PDF, and properties can now be edited in the checker itself.

One PDF checker, from document properties to saved versions

Metadata, saved versions, signatures and page comparison now live in one workflow instead of separate tools.

Page-rebuilding tools now state their document-level limits

Merge, split, organize and delete-pages now say when rebuilding pages can affect bookmarks, tags, forms or signatures.

More reliable metadata reports and text extraction

Metadata actions wait for the matching inspection, and PDF to Word flags image-only files instead of returning an empty one.

Metadata removal now checks earlier PDF revisions

The cleaner rebuilds PDFs carrying superseded revisions, then reopens the result to count them again.

Compression results and limitations are easier to verify

The compression report explains readability, tagging and size results in plain language, with the measurements kept.

Metadata tools tested against a public leak corpus

A public fixture checks document properties, image GPS, annotation authorship, attachments and embedded scripts.
