[aside] @burtonator - what do you use for your pdf rendering? pdf.js? When I used electron a while ago it didn't natively support PDFs so you needed to roll your own with pdf.js. And the UI code to get full-featured PDF support (like a native browser) was quite complicated. Just curious if you found an easier way.

It does kinda support Pdf out of the box but is currently broken. there's an open issue. The last working version with a PDF viewer is 2.x.
