What problem does this solve?
Some PDFs in a library are effectively a deck of cards — each page (or a region of a page) is a single card. Right now the only way to use one is to page through the PDF linearly in the reader, which is awkward when you want to draw a random card, shuffle, or flip through cards during a session.
What would you like to see?
A "deck" viewing mode for PDFs marked as card decks:
- Flip through pages one at a time (next / previous, keyboard-friendly).
- Randomize / draw — jump to a random page, optionally without repeats until the deck is exhausted (draw-without-replacement, then reshuffle).
- Optionally treat a page range as the deck so cover/rules pages can be excluded.
Anything else?
This feels like it belongs to a small family of "game aids" that could ship together or as a companion extension:
- Dice roller
- Built-in / random tables (roll on a table, or pull a random entry)
It may make sense to design the deck viewer, dice roller, and tables under a shared "tools/extensions" surface rather than one-off. Worth considering the extension architecture here — see the related URL-embed enhancement for prior art on pluggable tools.
