Hi all, I compiled a kind of wishlist what we need or look for in a new or enhanced open source PDF viewer, as discussed e.g. at the 2021 meeting.
slightly off-topic 1) gs has a new pdf viewer https://www.ghostscript.com/blog/pdfi.html but of course I think that they push on mupdf 2) EBookDroid - PDF & DJVU Reader is a very nice pdf viewer for android, especially on 10" tablets. It's based on mupdf. It seems that mupdf is more suited to be embedded into / used for embedding other programs: latest mupdf (1.20, iirc) has a js console and I think you can interact with the viewer -- sort of the js console of the browser; I haven't seen how yet, perhaps you can add objects on the fly to the documents, in this case one can think of embedding a small luatex (no harms, after all mupdf it's already a big binary) and add (pdf)objects by scripting. -- luigi
