That’s great to hear, contributions are very welcome! If you’re interested in working on outline editing, feel free to open a discussion or draft PR and we can figure out the best way to integrate it.

Thanks for sharing! It looks like the pdfreaders campaign has actually ended and the site is no longer updated, so I’m not sure it’s still being maintained as a resource.

It doesn’t support editing outlines yet, but it’s definitely possible and something I plan to look into. I don’t think it should be too hard to add.

Thanks! The redaction issue in Firefox should now be fixed.

Thanks! Glad to hear it’s working well on Firefox for Android.

Thanks for letting me know, that was related to a Firefox-specific issue I’ve just fixed. Annotations and redaction should now work in Linux + Firefox as well as Chromium.

Yep, that’s exactly the issue! I’ve fixed it so it no longer throws the TouchEvent error in Firefox. Thanks for flagging it.

Thanks for pointing that out! I’ve fixed the Firefox issue. And we actually already have Undo/Redo on the annotation toolbar.

Very easy, this already works! In the AnnotationLayer you can add your own `selectionMenu` and render any custom component there. If you want to dive deeper, join our Discord and shoot me a message. https://discord.gg/mHHABmmuVU

Yes, those commercial PDF SDKs charge crazy prices! Time to change that.

Haha fair, but PDFium's under Apache 2.0, so at least the “cartel” in this case is about as open-license as it gets.

Yes, all of the above. The client-side PDF viewer will remain free and MIT-licensed, but I’ll be focusing on offering PDF hosting with enterprise features like analytics, access controls etc, those will be part of the paid offering.

This is really valuable feedback, thank you! I agree, having a simple, ready-to-use `<EmbedPDF>` component that includes all the plugins by default would make it much easier to get started. I’ll definitely add that alongside the more advanced example.

Thanks! Glad to hear it’s running smoothly on mobile, the rendering on iOS in particular feels really fast.

That means a lot to me, thank you!

Thanks! For now we’re only building a web app, but depending on demand we’d love to build native apps for Android, iOS, and desktop OSs as well.

Thanks! Signing is a high priority for us, and PKCS#11 and PKCS#12 support are definitely on our radar.

The main goal was to make a PDF viewer that is easy for developers to integrate into their websites with minimal setup, while PDF.js can be harder to customize and extend for certain use cases

Not on the roadmap yet, but I’d definitely be open to adding it if more people are interested.

Thanks! I’ve been working on it for about 7 months now.
