Start coding today to experience the powerful engine that drives data application’s development, brought to you in partnership with Qlik.

Quite amazing: PDF.js is a JavaScript library that displays PDFs in browsers. At version 0.2, it comes with the requisite warning: “Note: This is an early-stage prototype. Several documents might not render properly.”

Try it out online, in any browser.
Install a Firefox add-on that uses PDF.js to display PDF files you come across on the web. It automatically stays current via Firefox auto-update.
PDF.js on GitHub.

The PDF.js Firefox add-on displays a PDF file on the web.
