## What it is
ng2-pdf-viewer is an Angular component library for rendering PDF files in web applications, built on top of PDF.js. It supports features like text rendering, search, zoom, rotation, and page navigation.

## Use cases
- display pdf documents in an angular app
- render pdf files in the browser
- add pdf viewer with zoom and rotation to angular
- search text inside a pdf in a web app
- show pdf from url or local file in angular component
- embed pdf preview in angular dashboard

## When to choose
- you are building an Angular application and need to display PDFs inline
- you need PDF features like text layer, search, zoom, and rotation out of the box
- you want a maintained MIT-licensed component with versioned support for Angular 4 through 12+

## When to avoid
- you are not using Angular (consider react-pdf, vue-pdf, or PDF.js directly)
- you need to generate or edit PDFs rather than view them
- you need a server-side PDF rendering solution
