Funny thing is that they probably have some UI-expert on site.


Probably not, but that document viewer is the product of the DocumentCloud project, which was at one point headed by Jeremy Ashkenas, and from which Underscore and Backbone.js are derived: http://www.documentcloud.org/opensource

However, like most viewers, the DC viewer is best in its standard view, not its embedded view: http://www.documentcloud.org/documents/338833-cover-letter.h...

edit: Ttough yes, the thumbnail nav to go between different documents is not great, though that's more an issue of the site implementation...probably this is a landing page for the docs that would presumably be direct-linked to elsewhere


Like most viewers, the DC viewer is best when it's gone and I can use a proper pdf viewer.
