You may have to remind me, as I don't recall ever floating the idea for
a PDF component. I do recall linking to a (possibly commercial) PDF tool
in my weekly links posts [1], but that has nothing to do with me. I
don't believe a PDF viewer Jira feature request has been filed either -
so if you want to start that discussion it may be worthwhile you filing
this feature request.

support a JavaFX-specific component or to use a Swing PDF component in
JavaFX?
The reason I ask is that it would be very useful in the life sciences if we
could annotate and render PDFs. There are some applications like
UtopiaDocs and Mendeley that partially support some of the use cases, but
having a component that we could build open source applications upon would
be extremely useful. This video gives you some idea of what we'd like to
be able to do with this type of component:
