Correct, I misspoke. Running the JavaScript is the limitation on most
desktop browsers. The reason for setting up the local web server is to be
able to test pdfjs in the IDE. The browser widget  is a Chromium codebase.
This way one can tweak pdfjs and test in the IDE before deploying to
Android.

Oh?  Most browsers except Firefox won't execute JavaScript from local files,
but PFDs open in Firefox and Chrome here just fine.
