Spooky   MuPDF


MuPDF is a lightweight PDF viewer and toolkit written in portable C.

The renderer in MuPDF is tailored for high quality anti-aliased graphics. It renders text with metrics and spacing accurate to within fractions of a pixel for the highest fidelity in reproducing the look of a printed page on screen.

MuPDF has a small footprint. A binary that includes the standard Roman fonts is only one megabyte. A build with full CJK support (including an Asian font) is approximately five megabytes.

MuPDF has support for all non-interactive PDF 1.7 features, and the toolkit provides a simple API for accessing the internal structures of the PDF document. Example code for navigating interactive links and bookmarks, encrypting PDF files, extracting fonts, images, and searchable text, and rendering pages to image files is provided.

Download

Download packages of the latest release for your system:

Install the MuPDF plug-in for Firefox on Windows. The plug-in does not work with newer versions of Firefox.

The latest development source is available directly from the darcs repository. Browse the source or use the following command line to check out the source:

    darcs get http://mupdf.com/repos/mupdf
You can also get the source from our experimental git mirror:

If you are compiling from source you will need several third party libraries: freetype2, jbig2dec, libjpeg, openjpeg, and zlib. We have prepared a package (mupdf-thirdparty.zip) that you can unzip in the mupdf source tree if you don't have them installed on your system.
