## Description

PDF hustler helps you download PDF files that are dynamically loaded into embedded viewers on websites. It captures network requests in real time and identifies the latest accessed PDF, allowing users to download it with a single click from the popup.

This tool is ideal for students, researchers, or professionals accessing academic portals or document systems where direct download options are restricted or hidden. The extension runs a lightweight background script that listens for completed .pdf network requests and remembers the most recent one.

When you click the "Download PDF" button in the popup, it will fetch and save the most recently detected PDF file, making access to important documents easier and faster without navigating complex site structures.

<code>Monitors network traffic to detect PDF files
