Comment on PDFium: Chrome’s PDF rendering engine is now open-source

Comments

I found it interesting that it seems to use Antigrain by Maxim Shemanarev in https://pdfium.googlesource.com/pdfium/+/master/core/src/fxg... (Chrome uses Skia). Unfortunately the author of Antigrain died: http://beta.slashdot.org/submission/3154635/rip-maxim-sheman... It's nice to see the fascinating Antigrain code to be used for PDF viewing every day!

Did not know about this. As an agg user this made me sad.

Nice to hear that AGG lives on. I remember exploring it in around 2002 and being mighty impressed with it.
