Description

Is the feature relevant to the Firefox PDF Viewer?

Yes

Feature description

A major open source library iText just added experimental support for PDF documents that use the BrotliDecode filter see:
itext/itext-java@f347b18

What is the timeline to support it? Currently it's still a technical draft but it would greatly help out adoption within the ecosystem even if it's still behind an experimental flag/build (Read I want a viewer where I can test the files I generated :D).

Example of a PDF using the BrotliDecode filter.
simple_hello_world_brotli.pdf

More info can be found here:

Implementation should be quite trivial and I probably will have a go at it this weekend if there is any chance on merging it.
But to do it I would need to embed the reference javascript implementation from google would that be an issue?

Other PDF viewers

No other viewers support it as of this time.
