# PDF.js

PDF.js is a Portable Document Format (PDF) library that is built with HTML5.
Our goal is to create a general-purpose, web standards-based platform for
parsing and rendering PDFs.

This is a pre-built version of the PDF.js source code. It is automatically
generated by the build scripts.

For usage with older browsers or environments, without support for modern
features such as `async`/`await`, optional chaining, nullish coalescing,
and private `class` fields/methods; please see the `legacy/` folder.

See https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js for learning and contributing.
Adds readme file for the pdfjs-dist repo. 2014-09-24 07:10:09 -05:00			`# PDF.js`

Update the main, and pdfjs-dist, README to also include recent ECMAScript features This adds "optional chaining" and "nullish coalescing" to the list of features needed when using the modern, i.e. non-translated/non-polyfilled, build of the PDF.js library. 2021-01-19 17:41:50 +01:00			`For usage with older browsers or environments, without support for modern`
[api-minor] Remove the, in `legacy` builds, bundled `ReadableStream` polyfill According to the MDN compatibility data, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ReadableStream#browser_compatibility, all browsers that we support have native `ReadableStream` implementations (since quite some time too). Hence only Node.js is now lagging behind w.r.t. `ReadableStream` support, and its experimental implementation doesn't really help us given the life-span of the LTS releases (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Node.js#Releases). It seems quite unfortunate to bundle a `ReadableStream` polyfill in the `legacy` builds when it's unnecessary in browsers, given its overall size, but fortunately we can avoid that by simply listing `web-streams-polyfill` as a dependency for the `pdfjs-dist` library. 2022-02-12 17:30:39 +01:00			features such as `async`/`await`, optional chaining, nullish coalescing,
