This new feature proposes to add support for display (via the OPAC) of scanned (.PDFs, JPEG / JPEG2000 / TIFF et al.) using the IA BookReader [1] JavaScript library.
There are available PDF/DJVU viewer as

But for book reading experience at Internet Archive is better.
Hi @jayantanth, thanks for taking the time to report this!
Integrate into what exactly? Which exact problem would you like to solve?
This task describes a potential solution but not a problem... Also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_report_a_bug
Thanks!
This is my new requested proposal to view PDF/DJVU file in Commons. So where would I request? direct at https://commons.wikimedia.org/ ??

As far as I know, Wikimedia Commons supports viewing PDF and DJVU files.
Hence I don't understand yet what is requested in this task and which actual problem you would like to see solved. :(

@Aklapper, I think, its more about viewing individual pages of pdf/djvu files. In IA, we can flip and check the pages easily, like a real book. Whereas in Commons, we have a scroll option where we click on respective numbers to get into a page and then click on another number to get into another page, never feels like reading a book.
