The performance is fine but when I have to open PDF files with foreign language neither Adobe or PDF.js can do that well. Adobe will require me to have the font package downloaded. I don't think there is such package for PDF.js which forces me to download the PDF.

They render fine if fonts are embedded; granted there are many pdfs which don't. But then it's the producers which are to blame.
