a lightweight PDF and XPS viewer
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 is also small, fast, and yet complete. It supports PDF 1.7 with transparency, encryption, hyperlinks, annotations, searching and more. It also reads OpenXPS documents.
We don't support interactive features such as form filling, javascript and transitions. MuPDF is written modularly, so such features can be added on by integrators if they so desire.

The latest development source is available directly from the git repository:
git clone git://git.ghostscript.com/mupdf.git
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.
The MuPDF developers hang out on IRC in the #ghostscript channel on irc.freenode.net.
