Is there any application or method to view PDFs as "picture-in-picture"?

I wanted to try this as a means of duping a window focus tracker on a remote proctoring site.

The examination is open-book and since I don't have the prints I'm trying to explore ways to view PDFs without having to change windows or tabs.

The best way to do so is by using PDF.js as it renders PDF's in HTML5 in your browser. I haven't come across any better solutions.

see: https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js

  • ah well i do use it as a chrome extension but i was looking for a way that didn't include having to switch tabs or windows... sort of an application that could display the pdf as "picture-in-picture" – Anupam Dash Jan 06 '21 at 06:25
  • You can do this with pdf.js; simply get the pdf rendered data from the pdf.js canvas and you can do with it wathever you like. Check out this codpen (not mine): [link](https://codepen.io/akhiltrivedi-the-scripter/pen/bGNPprR) – michp Jan 06 '21 at 06:43
