Why does your dev-local repo[1] README have a link that's described as being the Adobe PDF viewer extension for VS Code but actually link to an extension that uses pdf.js by a company called Mathematic[2]?

Well I'm not entirely sure why they did that, Adobe is the original creators of the PDF format [1] as given by this Wikipedia article on PDFs which might mean they meant something more like a viewer for *Adobe's PDF format* rather than *Adobe's viewer* for PDFs.

Sorry for the misunderstanding, we indeed "meant something more like a viewer for Adobe's PDF format rather than Adobe's viewer for PDFs.". We will make sure to change the wording. Thank you!
