About:
MuPDF is a high-performance C library that renders PDF, XPS, and EPUB documents with precision and speed. It includes command-line tools and a lightweight viewer, making it ideal for server-side processing and embedded systems. Its small footprint and robust feature set make it a preferred choice for developers needing reliable document rendering.
