Contributing

Contributors are very welcome. There are many things you can help with, including adding testing feature, creating examples for the examples folder... Some guidelines below:

• Questions: It's okay to ask a question on Github Issues if you're having trouble since the volume is manageable. Just prefix your Github Issue with 'Question: ' so we can differentiate easily. Also, please make sure you've read through pdf.js documentation and tried a few things before asking. This way you can be very specific in your question. Also, please provide a cloneable Github repository if the issue is complex. For more complex questions sometimes it's hard to get all of the context required to solve a problem by just looking at text.

• New Features & Bugs: You need to ask new features and bugs corrections to PDFjs creator on his GIT: http://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/

• Answer Questions!: If you can help another user please do!

TODO

1. Explain how to make a viewer with selectable text
