How FoldRender handles it

One viewer for every format

PDF sits beside Markdown, code, JSON/YAML, CSV, images, HTML, logs and notebooks — no switching apps to open a file in a repo.

Two-pane when unfolded

Browse files on the left, read the PDF on the right; fold to a single column for focused reading.

Native, not a plugin

PDF is rendered natively for smooth scrolling on the foldable's large display.
