It's based on mupdf. It seems that mupdf is more suited to be embedded into / used for embedding other programs: latest mupdf (1.20, iirc) has a js console and I think you can interact with the viewer -- sort of the js console of the browser; I haven't seen how yet, perhaps you can add objects on the fly to the documents, in this case one can think of embedding a small luatex (no harms, after all mupdf it's already a big binary) and add (pdf)objects by scripting. -- luigi
