Ludovic, so this a js-based PDF-renderer. I am curious as to the performance you can reach with such a tool. Most of the PDF viewers I know of take the CPU easily to peaks as soon as, say, a bit too many vector drawings are done. The project's home page seems not to include a demo which worries me. paul Le 13 déc. 2012 à 15:05, Ludovic Dubost a écrit :

Hi, There is a demo if you install the macro on your own wiki. The performance is not incredible. For a large PDF the rendering is a bit slow as it needs to do a lot of drawing. Ludovic 2012/12/13 Paul Libbrecht <[email protected]>

I would also add on the extension page somehthing about browser compatiablity as it doesnt support IE8 or below as it needs the HTML 5 Canvas inorder it for it to work -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/New-repository-for-PDF-Viewer-Macro-on-con...

Very very interesting, today Firefox 19 arrived on my MacBook. And... preview of PDF is based on PDFjs, offering you to open something else in case. This is probably using Firefox's native JS compiler. You can inspect the things there and some of the text is actually a DOM. Embedded fonts fail for some TeX generated documents. A warning is issued if there was an error opening, offering you to go to another viewer. That was a good idea Ludovic! Especially since it might bring to mobiles, the embedded PDF view (within an iframe or so). paul On 14 déc. 2012, at 13:32, Ludovic Dubost wrote:
