Bug Description

When I receive a PDF from an API, the Web-App correctly displays the PDF in the Response-Preview Pane.
Unfortunately, on the desktop app, this does not work.
The Response Pane is empty.
The data is there, I can use the download button or display raw text, but no PDF :)

Here is a screenshot:

is this expected due to some pdf.js missing, aka not yet implemented, or really a bug?

thanks for creating this wonderful alternative to postman :)
