If doc-view-mode could provide native support for those file types, it'd
be much more realistic to replace standard viewers provided by the os.
Unfortunately the last time I checked which is quite a while ago, it
converted those files into images and use Emacs to view them.

A proper pdf viewer is crucial to academic workers and in each of the
major operating systems, there are free capable viewers available. So if
this feature is to be in org core, please don't make it the default.

Thanks.
