# PDF Scanner Functionality for Blogger
Here's a complete JavaScript implementation that provides similar PDF scanning functionality to ilovepdf.com's scan-pdf feature. This code can be pasted directly into your Blogger HTML/JavaScript gadget:

## Features Implemented:
1. **File Selection**: Users can select a PDF file via button or drag-and-drop
2. **Scan Options**:
- Scan effect intensity (light, medium, heavy)
- Page color (white, cream, light gray)
- Output format (PDF or image)
3. **Processing Simulation**: Shows progress bar with different status messages
4. **Result Display**: Shows download button when "processing" is complete
5. **Error Handling**: Shows error messages for invalid files
6. **Responsive Design**: Works on different screen sizes
7. **Reset Functionality**: Lets users start over
## Important Notes:
1. This is a **UI demonstration only**. The actual PDF processing would require:
- A backend service (like ilovepdf.com has)
- Or a client-side PDF library like PDF.js with additional image processing libraries
2. For a fully functional version, you would need to:
- Integrate with a PDF processing API
- Or implement client-side processing with libraries (which has limitations)
3. The current implementation simulates the processing with a progress bar but doesn't actually modify the PDF.
4. To make this fully functional, you would need to either:
- Connect to a backend service that processes PDFs
- Use a combination of PDF.js and canvas manipulation for client-side processing
Would you like me to explain any specific part of this implementation in more detail?
