Implementing split view

[johnmara]

Hello,
I'm new to pdf.js but I found it interesting. I have to choose an open source project and make changes for my uni, so I chose this one. I want to begin with something easy so I am thinking to implement a split view for a document. So you can see two pages in parallel or even documents.
I'll try to implement it with my friend.

Closing as duplicate of issue #590. (As indicated there, and in the PRs that tried to implement it, this feature is not an easy project to take on.)

Could you suggest me any other easy to implement feature? At first I thought of adding annotations but I found out that it already supports viewing annotations(but not creating them, even there is a nice video on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agrBJH1TriI ).
Thank you in advance :D

Nice to hear that you are interested in helping us develop PDF.js! I don't know if you need a small or a big task, but we have a "good beginner bug" category containing issues that you can work on that do not require too much knowledge of the codebase. You can find the category at https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A5-good-beginner-bug.

Feel free to contact us on IRC if you need more information or contact us before you start working on an issue.

@Snuffleupagus @timvandermeij This issue does seem neither a duplicate of #590, nor solved by #9208. That issue and PR seems to refer to view 2 continuous pages in parallel, but it would be great pdf.js allowing to see two arbitrary pages in parallel, needed, for example, reading a book or a paper and their references, etc., or also reading two different pdf's side by side.
