It does render on my mobile. I believe that it has some issues with iOS. You can read more about that here: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/better-pdf-plugin-insert-scale-rotate-and-cut-out-pdf-pages-into-your-notes/12207/29

When i designed better pdf plugin there was no mobile version of obsidian. In order for it to work on mobile, parts of the core plugin have to be rewritten.

Hi.. I use the "Better PDF Plugin" in Obsidian on my laptop to view pdf files and they work fine.. however on my Android mobile it shows this message "ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined” and the pdf file does not display. Hope you will be able to design the plugin for the mobile version of obsidian. Thanks.

The mobile version of Obsidian does not yet support Buffer API. According to this POST, it appears that none of the NodeJS-specific libraries would be supported on the mobile version of Obsidian. It appears that this plugin would not work on mobile unless the code is refactorized.
