I am actually interested in doing pure JS pdf processing. All of the web interfaces for PDF processing are server side — which means it’s tough to process large files. The dream is a purely JavaScript solution that never leaves the local computer. I’ve got a few client-side success stories that do fairly significant image generation through the canvas. So far PDF seems reasonably manageable through manipulating the text, but it’s not the best format.

This is the same code that ships in Firefox browser as well. This is standalone, AFAIK, it doesn't talk to a mothership. [1]https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/ https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/
