LinuxPDF

So you can run a PDF reader inside it to display a PDF? Honestly I am a little worried someone will come up with some sort of smart DRM based on this.

In seriousness, it’s impressive and highlights how awful the PDF format is. Can we have a document format that is less encumbered, more structured, and more accepted as a “real” document yet?

On Edge (Chromium), I get this error message instead:

  An embedded page at linux.doompdf.dev says
  TypeError: Cannot set properties of null (setting 'value')
    at Object.0.9657115108887302 (<anonymous>:248:42)
    at set_interval_callback (<anonymous>:43:24)
    at <anonymous>:1:6

Wow. I guess it was just a matter of time after seeing the Doom and Tetris PDFs.

FYI, the PDF is 6.2 MB.

That’s just wrong.

It’s no wonder we have endless security issues when documents that should be just data and metadata (layout) declarations are Turing complete. Sigh.

You people really managed to sprinkle JS everywhere, even on PDF. Shame on you.
