Don't dream - make the WebAPI of your dreams become real!
summary
A new mozPrintCallback API gets drafted to let canvas emit vector output for printing so PDF.JS renders crisp selectable pages; a prototype lands as C++ patches in Firefox, using the Firefox build, GDB and heavy printf debugging, automated tests and bugzilla tracking; initial rollout triggers about ten crashes that get triaged and fixed; result: a browser-implemented canvas print callback ships and PDF.JS gains native-quality printable output. mozPrintCallback PDF.JS
