Timeline (last 90 days)
PDF.js is feature-complete but has a huge codebase and is difficult to customize, while built-in browser preview capabilities can hardly perform structured extraction.
Browser-side PDF processing capabilities (such as open-source rendering engines like PDF.js) have gradually matured, making lightweight online editing possible, but complex layout adjustments still rely on desktop tools.
Images → PDF and PDF to Images form a two-way conversion: combining JPG/PNG into a single PDF, or exporting PDF pages as PNG/JPEG at 72, 150 or 300 dpi, with rendering done client-side by PDF.js.
PDF.js is a JavaScript library developed and open-sourced by Mozilla that can parse and render PDF files in the browser without requiring browser plugins or local software.
The combined architecture of a "PDF rendering layer + Canvas drawing layer" is the mainstream implementation approach for browser-based PDF handwriting tools.
