Make process wait optional

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. My default browser is the default handler for viewing PDFs. If my default browser is already open and I generate a PDF, my form can still be interacted with. If my default browser is NOT open already, the process waits until the browser is closed (maybe just the tab, I haven't tried beyond this). It seems like it's possibly this line that should just run the process instead of waiting for it to close.

Describe the solution you'd like If keeping the current functionality, I'd like to pass a flag to GeneratePdfAndShow that tells it to launch the child process and return. The browser can keep the file open as long as it wants.

Describe alternatives you've considered Don't have a wait at all? but a flag would be best in case some people rely on that functionality.

Additional context In case it helps, I was on Windows 11 with Edge as my default browser.
