MuPDF
MuPDF is a lightweight document viewer and toolkit written in portable C. It supports PDF, XPS, EPUB, XHTML, CBZ, and various image formats such as PNG, JPEG, GIF, and TIFF.
The renderer in MuPDF is tailored for high quality anti-aliased graphics. It renders text with metrics and spacing accurate to within fractions of a pixel for the highest fidelity in reproducing the look of a printed page on screen.
MuPDF supports all static functions required by PDF 1.7 and is a lightweight alternative to poppler based pdf applications. It also support standard PDF annotations such as highlight, shape tools, drawing, notes and file attachment.
