I need a PDF viewer which UI can be accessed via localhost so I can open it in Firefox.
I need a more powerful PDF viewer with easier jumping to sections, comments, and highlighting.
You must log in or # to comment.
How about Sumatra PDF?
ETA: I think it’s open source.
Came here to suggest SumatraPDF as well
How to open it’s UI in browser ?
it is a native app. https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf
It is the most performant pdf viewer on windows (that i know of). it uses libmupdf
Sorry I missed that part. I don’t know if it has that functionality.
ETA: I think it’s open source.
It is: https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf/blob/master/COPYING
Why not just let Firefox open the PDF? It will read them on its own. Is it missing a feature you need?

You want a PDF viewer that’s accessible from Firefox, but you don’t want to use the built in Firefox PDF viewer?
If you really need it accessible from the browser, you’re probably looking at spinning up a Selkies docker container. That’ll get you an entire desktop environment in a web browser.
