## What it is
A Zotero plugin that renders fast PDF previews of attachments directly in the library view's side panel. It is now archived because Zotero 7 natively supports attachment previews.

## Use cases
- preview pdf attachments in zotero library
- quickly view papers without opening them
- show pdf thumbnails in the zotero side panel
- zoom and scroll pdfs inside zotero
- customize where the preview pane appears

## When to choose
- You are on Zotero 6 and want inline PDF previews in the library view

## When to avoid
- You use Zotero 7 or later, which has native attachment previews
- You need an actively maintained plugin
