Is it possible for me to easily integrate with sioyek to provide PDF converting ability directly within the Chrome Extension? This would be useful for the following reasons: - For the times when you click on a link and it opens the PDF in Chrome - Many people I know use Chrome as their main "PDF Viewer" app.

I believe this will be a great way for both our OSS projects to collaborate.

Perhaps in the future we can work on the language model as well. Very cool reasearch btw!

I am not very familiar with chrome's PDF API (or lack thereof) but I doubt that it is possible.

Correct, it's not possible in default PDF view in Chrome -- contentscript is not injected. However as long as you have full access to pages, you could intercept a PDF link, render it with, say, PdfJS, and start from there. Maybe!
