Description

Hi,
Thank you for this amazing repo. I am trying to use this on a website which also has 100s of pdfs. The crawler is unable to get the content from the PDFs. It fails with the error:

PlaywrightCrawler: Request failed and reached maximum retries. page.goto: net::ERR_ABORTED

It will be great if request for crawling through PDFs can be added as well.

Research direction

The issue identifies PlaywrightCrawler and the page.goto ERR_ABORTED failure as the starting points. Trace how PlaywrightCrawler handles PDF requests, then determine how PDF content should be retrieved and exposed; done means PDF URLs crawl successfully and their content is available to the generated knowledge files.
