"js" in "pdf.js" stands for JavaScript. But it is a script that comes with the Web browser and that is free software.

Of course you can download the PDF. Even when displaying a PDF through the Web browser, you actually downloaded it. The PDFs are under distributed the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, as the last slides indicates. To easily modify the slides one needs the LaTeX Beamer. Links to both the PDFs and the source are given on that page page: http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/en/mda.html#slides

I would like to point that those slides have little to do with Shell scripting and everything to do with specific commands: the GNU text processing commands. Of course, a script can use those commands. See http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/en/utilities.html#pdf-page-grep for a tiny script that mainly relies on 'grep' and http://dcc.ufmg.br/~lcerf/en/utilities.html#trivialibre for another tiny script that uses 'sed'. Both scripts are heavily commented for learning purpose (I am a professor if that was not clear) and Lucas Westermann made me the honor to write two pedagogical articles about them (links given on the page).
