mupdf VS Blazer

MuPDF mini (version 1.23.3a): Minimalist viewer for PDF, XPS, CBZ, unprotected EPUB, and FB2 documents

mupdf is the mupdf of epub; it supports epub and other formats beyond pdf¹. When I've had really large files I've used mupdf to read them a few times, as it seems to be far better at handling them than other tools.

Doesn't exactly fit your requirements, but might as well mention it here: muPDF - the most lightweight PDF viewer that I've ever seen. You don't even have to install it. Mobile version exists by the way.

I don't see anything about that on ArchWiki or MuPDF's website. Could you provide details on how it is obsolete and what critical vulnerabilities it has?

I think you might mean PyMuPDF (https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF), a Python library built on top of the MuPDF C library (https://mupdf.com/).

PyMuPDF and MuPDF are both available under dual open source AGPL and commercial licenses. They have been around for many years and are under continual development.

[Disclaimer, i work for Artifex, who wrote MuPDF and recently acquired PyMuPDF.]

Have you tried MuPDF?

I try to avoid these tools wherever possible, given the choice I'd always go for tools like Blazer.

No such luck in my current role, Looker and PowerBI are both in use by different bits of the org and nobody has the ability to delve into the underlying figures.

As u/jaxn said you could use Blazer for this kind of thing. I would also look into materialized views or custom tables and a scheduled job that calculates the metrics they care about. That will take you a long way. Eventually you can use something like Metabase but I would put that off for as long as possible as it's really expensive and pretty involved.

And it's Open Source: https://github.com/evidence-dev/evidence

I'd also highly recommend Blazer https://github.com/ankane/blazer if you are into the Ruby on Rails world. It's super solid, and it's been an indispensable tool integrated to all my projects.

I use Ahoy too, but I don't have very good visibility into the data. I should spend more time building queries and creating charts. I should probably set up blazer as well: https://github.com/ankane/blazer

The Blazer gem provides a nice way to analyze the results easily. It is simple to install and allows SQL queries to run against tables. The query here shows that the candidate implementation is significantly faster than the original.
