Rendering PDFs with pdf.js using HTML5 and JavaScript
Rendering PDFs with pdf.js using HTML5 and JavaScript: A couple of clever guys over at Mozilla have thought about this and have come up with a genius way of displaying PDFs inside your browser using Javascript and HTML5. The code is available for download on Github. PDF.js is community-driven and supported by Mozilla Labs which means its good news for us as developers. In the long run this plugin is intended to render PDFs natively within Firefox itself and will eventually ship with Firefox. For now though, we can start using the power of this plugin within our applications today.
