Adds a PDF to the preview items.
You can pass a container value with the PDF content from a media field. Or a text with an URL. Or a PDF reference from PDFKit.Open.

Either we use file path from FileMaker's external container storage directly or we write a temporary file, which is cleared later when app quits or panel is cleared.
