Soon after Mozilla was done with the release of Firefox 4, it launched an effort to develop an in-browser PDF viewer built entirely in HTML5 and JavaScript. While the ultimate aim of the project was, and still is, to make PDF.js an integral part of Firefox, the team working on the project has released the reader as a restart-free extension.
PDF.js has a fairly simple user interface. All its features, save for one, can be accessed from the bar at the top. These include the ability to move between pages, zoom in/out, print, download, and open local PDFs. Page thumbnails, however, are not visible until you move the cursor over to the extreme left of the screen.
Being a “community-driven and -governed open-source project,” it is open to contributions from absolutely anyone. If you think you are that anyone, you can download the source code from GitHub.
