Hmmm... just for fun, this is what I would like:
* All rendering done by raster chunks that get pieced together. If the pdf has a photo in it, it would be used as its own raster chunk.
* No special font rendering, but an idea of where text is so it can copy paste as though it is selecting text. Really it just outlines parts of the pre-rasterized text. Potentially text could be rasterized per letter for compression, but no dependency on font rendering abilities or local fonts should exist.
* No vector rendering, but the ability to select a rasterized vector image chunk and save as either .svg or .imgType.
* The ability to click html links
* The ability to write (with non-special fonts) into areas as to fill out a form
* A basic Regex (limiter => error/warn message) for form fields

I think this would be enough to cover everything I've done with a pdf. Tests to pass:
1. Looks the same everywhere
2. Can click links (great for resumes)
3. Can view photos, and select them for download
4. Can fill out forms
5. Can copy text
6. ???

Obviously size would be an issue here as you get to larger documents but I suspect compression could be made efficient enough to be just fine in most cases.
