Feature Request: Native PDF File Preview in VS Code

[iwangbowen]

Type: Feature Request

I propose adding native support for PDF file preview in VS Code. Since PDF files are widely used, this feature would allow users to view PDF documents directly within the editor without relying on external tools or additional extensions. This would streamline workflows and improve user experience, especially for projects involving documentation or reference materials.
