There isn't a good way to open pdf's in the app currently. I've added some new styles and js to open these with the OSes default viewer. I think this is something we should do for other file types (probably docx too).

We could have a list of file types that you can open in other programs, most likely limited to files that are usually opened in a standard application.

PDF's are probably one of the files that we should be able to to view in the app, because it's so simple in the desktop, but a pain due to https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/12337

Will definitely break on web. I might move other files to this new viewer when I fix it there, but just getting this in for the app release.
