pdfjs-dist

PDF.js

PDF.js is a Portable Document Format (PDF) library that is built with HTML5. Our goal is to create a general-purpose, web standards-based platform for parsing and rendering PDFs.

This is a pre-built version of the PDF.js source code. It is automatically generated by the build scripts.

For usage with older browsers/environments, without native support for the latest JavaScript features, please see the legacy/ folder. Please see this wiki page for information about supported browsers/environments.

See https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js for learning and contributing.
