Fixes #369 The problem we were hitting was because we were setting the viewport scale to 1 when rendering each of the PDF pages. As I was digging into this, I found this page, which describes exactly what's going on: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35400722/pdf-image-quality-is-bad-using-pdf-js Basically, this is how it breaks down. We create a canvas element to render the PDF page onto, and it is set to the viewport height and width. Because many (most?) PDFs are rendered at a smaller resolution, what ends up happening is on higher resolution monitors we create a big canvas, but then render an image that isn't scaled to it right. This causes the pixels to get spread out and blurriness ensues. The fix is to set the scaling to "2". We played around with the 3-5 range and it looked good on high resolutions - but as soon as the same image was rendered on a smaller resolution screen things went south quick. 2 seems to be the right setting which straddles the fence between the bad and pretty good.
