Description

Is it possible to give more support than just opening a PDF viewer and keeping it on top of the PyCharm window?

It might be helpful to look at ways to unit test reportlab code, and see if that provides any inspiration.

Also think about whether there's anything helpful to display on individual statements instead of just showing the final product.

Research direction

Start by examining the existing PDF-viewer behavior in the PyCharm plugin and how ReportLab code is currently handled. Investigate unit-testing approaches for ReportLab code, then assess useful per-statement displays beyond the final PDF. Done means the desired support is defined and implemented with tests covering the agreed behavior.
