Yes. In **Jestor**, the PDF viewer embedded in the form lets you flip through pages, zoom in, and use other reading tools without leaving the card or opening a new browser tab.

### Why this improves the workflow

Before, viewing an attached PDF meant downloading the file or opening it in a new tab, losing the card's context. That's especially annoying for anyone checking proposals, contracts, or sales decks several times a day.

### What the PDF viewer offers

- Page navigation right inside the form screen
- Zoom to read details without needing to download the file
- Option to download the PDF, in case the user prefers to view it locally
- Compatibility with the rest of the form's rules, like conditionals

### How to set up the PDF viewer in Jestor

1. Edit the form and add the PDF block
2. Choose whether the PDF comes from a field (dynamic) or is fixed for all records
3. Decide whether the field allows editing or stays view-only
4. Save — the PDF becomes navigable right on the card

### Process automation with fewer manual steps

By removing the need to download files just to check a proposal or contract, this feature cuts manual steps out of the sales and operations process in Jestor, keeping everything centralized on the same card.
