PdfSource reference

A PDF document source: a URL for the viewer to fetch, or a file or bytes that are already in memory.

string / URL: fetched by the viewer (see PdfRequestOptions).
ArrayBuffer / Uint8Array / Blob (including File): read directly, nothing is uploaded.

Strings compare by value; every other source compares by identity, so keep binary sources referentially stable (e.g. in state) to avoid reloading on every render.
