## What it is
A Vue 3 component (with Vue 2 support in v1) for embedding and rendering PDF documents in web applications. It wraps PDF.js to provide controlled rendering with text and annotation layers, password-protected document handling, and no peer dependencies.

## Use cases
- embed a pdf in a vue app
- render pdf documents with selectable text
- display password-protected pdfs in the browser
- show pdf annotations and links in vue
- render pdf forms in a web app
- highlight text matches in an embedded pdf

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight Vue component to render PDFs without extra configuration
- you want searchable/selectable text layers and annotation support out of the box
- you need Vue 2 and Vue 3 compatibility (v1 for Vue 2)

## When to avoid
- you are not using Vue
- you need a full PDF viewer UI with toolbars and thumbnails rather than an embeddable component
- you need to create or edit PDFs rather than display them

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: pdf, pdf-viewer, ui-components
- domain: pdf, frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: vue, vue3, pdf-embed, pdfjs, component, web-server
