Built in PDF viewer and editor

I like the pdf form template feature. Its currently moderately clunky but benefits mostly outweigh time expended in customising the form template prior to concerting to template. However, its frustrating not being able to view the populated form within Heidi and then, if necessary tweak the output. Ideally I'd like a built in pdf viewer/simple editor so the content of the filled form can be viewed, tweaked if necessary without having to download it and then re-open in a dedicated pdf application. I find despite close attention to the instructions in the Adobe/pdf-filler field instructions Heidi struggles more to accurately follow instructions meaning pdf editing usually needed, but its not practical to 'tweak' the template instructions quickly to test because you have to go back to the original pdf application, make changes, re-upload and test ... life is too short for this

Hello Nick Adams! I have a few more questions for you:
- What specific features would you like to see in the built-in PDF viewer/editor?
- How important is the ability to edit PDFs directly within Heidi Health to your workflow?
- Are there any specific PDF editing tools you currently use that you find particularly effective?

Tom it mostly needs simple filled fields text editing at the moment. Ideally, the ability to natively input the field filling context instructions for the pdf template within Heidi itself.
