LinuxPDF is a PDF file that runs a full Linux system inside a RISC-V emulator (based on TinyEMU) compiled to asm.js and executed via the JavaScript engine embedded in browser PDF viewers. It renders output as ASCII text fields and accepts input through a virtual keyboard, working only in Chromium-based browsers.
Use cases
- run linux inside a pdf file
- boot a risc-v emulator in the browser
- demonstrate javascript execution in pdf documents
- explore pdf format capabilities
- run a terminal in a pdf viewer
- educational demo of emulators and asm.js
When to choose
- you want a novel demo of running an OS inside a PDF
- you need a self-contained emulator artifact that runs in Chromium's PDF viewer
- you're studying PDF JavaScript APIs or asm.js compilation
When to avoid
- you need a practical or performant Linux environment
- you require Firefox or non-Chromium PDF viewers
- you need WebAssembly performance or real hardware emulation
