Does PDF.JS render acccessible PDF experience?

I'm working with a group that is considering using this solution for PDF
files:
https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js#online-demo


I'm curious if anyone has ever worked with it, i.e. fed it an accessible
(fully tagged) PDF file and verified that it renders an accessible screen
reader user experience.
I've seen a couple of examples that look less than accessible but I found
those in the wil and have not verified the PDF files themselves.
Ultimately I'll have to build this and try it out, but if someone already
has experience with it, I always appreciate knowing what to expect. ;)
Thanks
