## What it is
PDFSlick is a library for viewing and interacting with PDF documents in React, SolidJS, Svelte, and vanilla JavaScript apps. It wraps Mozilla's PDF.js with a reactive Zustand store and framework-specific components and hooks.

## Use cases
- embed a pdf viewer in a react app
- display pdf documents with thumbnails and navigation in svelte
- build a custom pdf viewer with zoom and page controls
- render multiple pdf documents in a single web app
- add pdf comments and annotations ui to a web application
- integrate pdf.js into modern javascript frameworks

## When to choose
- you need a React, SolidJS, or Svelte component-based PDF viewer
- you want reactive access to viewer state like current page and scale
- you want PDF.js power without wiring vanilla JS into your framework manually

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone desktop PDF reader application
- you only need to extract or parse text/data from PDFs rather than display them
- your stack excludes React, SolidJS, Svelte, and vanilla JS

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: pdf-viewer, ui-components, state-management
- domain: pdf, frontend, web-development
