Interesting, they transpiled Chromium’s PDFium library to WASM: embed-pdf-viewer/packages/pdfium at main · embedpdf/embed-pdf-viewer · GitHub
Hope they keep it updated.
edit: Oh wtf: I tried to check what version they were using, but the submodule source of PDFium they use is private: https://github.com/embedpdf/pdfium
And the commit they use isn’t in Google’s repo, so they actually made modifications: https://pdfium.googlesource.com/pdfium/+/ae17320bc11f4f615ad1fe315f637120c6f4fd6b
Great job, so it isn’t actually open source.
complained about it here: Where is the source for your forked PDFium · Issue #90 · embedpdf/embed-pdf-viewer · GitHub
Got exited for a second thinking this was a consumer product. Darn it.
Good question! before the launch I made our PDFium fork private while I was still deciding how much of the modified source to publish and whether there were any licensing or distribution concerns to resolve first. The plan is to make the fork (with our additional features like extended annotation and redaction support) public once I’ve cleaned it up and confirmed everything’s ready for release.
typical bs openwashing excuse.
