;Overview
:Until recently, PDF documents on the Web have been displayed by a plugin written in native code. However, since plugins frequently become the cause of security holes, Mozilla is developing a library called “pdf.js” which can draw PDF documents using only JavaScript. In this session <del>Andreas Gal and </del> Chris Jones will discuss what kind of techniques are used to implement heavy-weight functions such as rendering PDF documents with only JavaScript. They will also explain the limitations of Canvas' APIs and how Firefox's implementation of these APIs has been improved to overcome these limitations.
