What do you mean? This is a desktop component.
Just to clarify - I know inline PDF previews are still supported in Discourse.
My question is specifically about the theme component itself - it currently throws deprecation warnings in the console on recent Discourse versions.
Would this need a PR to update the deprecated API usage (e.g. plugin API / Ember hooks), or is there already work underway to modernize it?

Since it’s marked official , it’s reasonable to assume that it’ll be updated before it’s too late.

Yeah, my feature PR above fixes the deprecated API. However, it needs more work, and I’ve been too busy to look at it again.

I’m disappointed that the viewing of a pdf on a mobile device is not permitted. I’m hoping to migrate my phpBB site to Discourse, because phpBB is clunky - but, I’ve hacked a feature into my board using pdf.js that permits me to embed pdfs. And pdf.js permits you to zoom and pan - while it’s not as robust as on the desktop, it’s useful in the garage to scan a manual without having to run back into the house. This example is not that of a manual, but demonstrates the principle: Bulletin #361 - A Diesel in America
Facebook is eating my lunch, and primarily with mobile devices - I’m hoping to win users back with a Discourse integration. But losing pdf on the handheld is not a win for me.
