Highlights

  • Rendering of real-world typography, including world scripts, vertical Japanese, color emoji, gradients, soft masks and transparency
  • Search, page organizing, combining and splitting
  • Protection options, forms and layers
  • Threaded comments and an all-tools panel
  • Agent support for automation

The project includes a 13-page showcase PDF so you can test the reader right away.

Good to know: the ArtCraft name and logos are trademarks of the ArtCraft team and are not covered by the open-source license, so forks must remove them. The code itself is released under Apache-2.0.
