Is it reliable, fast, resource-saving?
Does it display all files, also large and complex ones?
Does it allow different output formats (screen, PNG, PostScript, CUPS
Raster, PCL, ...)?
Does it allow filling and saving forms?
Probably it is a good idea for the future, but above features need to
Hi,
would a JavaScript implementation help? pdf.js from Mozilla is available

Because doing so would require third-party apps be GPL compatible.
Seems that someone needs to start writing a new

Cheers.
Most importnt is resource consumption: disk space, RAM, CPU, battery.

The Ubuntu desktop uses Poppler for screen display and Ghostscript for
printing. On a mobile device this is overkill. We need only one PDF
renderer and also no PostScript interpreter as for printing we expect

This doesn't sound accurate to me - I've used evince before (which is
poppler based) to fill out PDF forms and save them. Maybe this should be

replace Poppler on the desktop ?
Poppler also has a better accessibility story, in that it
