Looking through Bugzilla, I see that the B2G Project has a component called Gaia:PDF Viewer that seems to use PDF.js. Bug 852849 suggests there is some support for Web Activities which means that documented PDF activity might be utilizing the Gaia:PDF Viewer component. I'm wondering if there is a documentation for these components. If not, then perhaps we should write some documentation for the Gaia:PDF Viewer component and link to it from the Web Activity documentation where it mentions the PDF Activity. _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
