PDF.js is fetching the entire PDF file from a server. Can it fetch only the required portions for rendering?
Actually, PDF.js is doing just that. PDF is a complicated format; in most of the cases, the vital data of a PDF document is located at the end. Depending on browser support and on what web server returns the HTTP Range Requests headers, PDF.js may automatically start using HTTP Range Requests to fetch not-yet-loaded portions of a PDF needed for rendering visible pages, so a document can be rendered without fully loading it.
