(Feature request) Import PDF files into Canvas notes #4834

Describe feature

Hey, I think it would be useful to be able to import PDF files into the Canvas.

I like to take notes on my lecture slides and write additional stuff next to them. Currently this is a painful process of converting them into PNGs and then pasting them image by image into my canvas node.

I think this could easily be automated to work somewhat similar to OneNote, where PDFs are converted to images before being pasted next to each other into the canvas. Since Excalidraw already allows for PNGs to be inserted this should be technically possible.
