I use this a lot, and it really does work. It renders everything, and renders it well. The one thing that doesn't work is maps – just too many vectors, and Javascript/Canvas/etc just can't keep up. Otherwise I'm very happy and don't feel nearly as much resentment towards PDFs as I used to.
- mrb 14y ago(I assume you are you mentally comparing pdf.js to Adobe Reader.) Have we reached the point where Adobe Reader is so resource-guzzling that people prefer a JavaScript (gasp!) PDF interpreter to Reader? Wow.
- fafner 14y agoYes, I really love PDF.js. I was consider switching to Chrome just because of the (proprietary) pdf viewer. But the Chrome PDF viewer even lacks the concept of pages! I had already kicked out the Adobe Reader plugin but using an external viewer every time makes PDF just so more annoying. Mozilla is also working on something similar for Flash: https://github.com/mozilla/shumway https://github.com/mozilla/shumway . I'm a bit sceptical but with the success of PDF.js I can't wait to use it.
