PDF.js or pdf.js is a JavaScript library that renders Portable Document Format (PDF) files using the web standards-compliance HTML5 Canvas. The project is led by the Mozilla Foundation after Andreas Gal launched it (initially as an experiment) in 2011.
PDF.js can work as a part of a website or of a browser. Originally created as a Firefox extension,[3] it is now included in Mozilla Firefox since 2012 (version 15)[4][5] and is enabled by default since 2013 (version 19)[6][7]. It is also included in ownCloud, and as a browser extension for Google Chrome and Chromium.[8]
