I believe all the other replies to your comment to be incorrect. Both Chrome and Android use the skia ( http://code.google.com/p/skia/ ) library as far as i am aware (see http://code.google.com/searchframe#OAMlx_jo-ck/src/third_par... )
This is not a PDF reader but a graphics library.

That's correct. I use Chromium on Arch Linux and it doesn't come with the proprietary pdf reader by default.
There is also a Google Chrome/Chromium extension also provided by the pdf.js team. (It's not in the webstore, though.) I've used it since about half a year and I like it a lot. (Not having to download PDFs all the time and having PDFs in tabs alongside the sites I read.)
You can also separately download the proprietary PDF reader of Chrome and use it with Chromium. If you are using Arch Linux, it is available in the repositories.

It is included, but off in release versions at the moment. In about:config : name: pdfjs.disabled status: default type: boolean value: false
I'm no usability expert, but to me it would make more sense to name that parameter "pdfjs.enabled" true/false
So if at one point pdfjs should be enabled by default, they can just get rid of the preference in the default preferences file altogether instead of having to ship one where it says enabled: true (because absence of the value would be treated as false)

1) From a technical perspective, this is damn cool - exceedingly well done. Color me very impressed. 2) I hope I never actually see anyone using this on a website, attempting to make things "easier." Between Scribd and Slideshare, and Adobe trying to force its hideous crash-prone plugins into my browser, there are already enough people making a mess out of what is one of the more well-thought-out aspects of OS X.

i've stumbled upon PDF.js a while ago because i was looking for js tool that allows me to extract data from pdfs... sadly i'm still looking for a good lib to do just that.
This is amazing, but sadly slow.
This is super cool. While I can't imagine myself using it anytime soon, it's clear that web applications are improving at a far faster rate then native applications and, with t large enough, the first derivative means that web will eclipse native. This seems like an academic exercise at the moment; it's to prove that you can replicate a native experience only. However, it seems that this could be vastly improved by p…
