Comment on A tool that converts PDFs to SVG, built using PDF.js

Comments

I really wonder about the utility of something like this tool. I enjoy and encourage building new things "just because" but I can help but think the point to PDFs is to have complete visual control of layout and formatting while providing the textual and tagging information layers is critical to transform and adapt the information for artificial intelligent agents and people with disabilities that rely upon assistive technologies such as screen readers.
