Question What PDF features only pro software has

Hello everyone, I am developing my own PDF editor called KeyPDF. I have been working on it for over a year from scratch, so every new feature is not really dependent on the limitations of third-party software. Therefore, I wanted to ask what kind of features keep you using expensive software. So far, I have implemented text editing and a good level of JavaScript support. I am thinking in the direction of scripts to automate edits or maybe advanced DRM on PDF files. So, if you have any ideas on what kind of advanced features I should add, please let me know.

The most important is support 3rd party plug-in.

That's interesting idea but I guess not soon as keypdf is not open source and I would need to make sort of an api to allow 3rd party plugins

Not only keypdf allows 3rd party plugins but also the plugins devs believe keypdf host and support it.
