What's wrong with pdfium?

• hannob 7y ago
  It uses custom google build systems that are difficult to use independent of a chromium build. Last time I tried I was unable to get it to build. It's not packaged as far as I can tell separately from chromium and chromium doesn't ship it as a reusable library. Not sure if it has a stable interface, probably not. It doesn't have any frontend other than chromium.

    > Not sure if it has a stable interface Their docs say "The public/ directory contains header files for the APIs available for use by embedders of PDFium. We endeavor to keep these as stable as possible." The rest are valid points though!

      > We endeavor to keep these as stable as possible. That sounds more like best-effort.
