A comment on React PDF Viewer.

What is the great selling point compare to use the native PDF view builtin to all modern browsers?

I really hate it when websites tries to be smart about PDF viewing. The builtin view is much better and faster.

The demo at https://react-pdf-viewer.dev is just not as good as opening the PDF directly in the browser.

I think it enables extending the features using JS/HTML.

E.g. A business process involving PDF's could auto annotate some information for a human processor to whizz through.
