+### PDF Server
+
+This project includes a local HTTP server for hosting downloaded PDF files. It runs on port 8000 by default and lists all PDF files in the `data` directory in a styled HTML format.

+  ```python
+  python3 pdf_server.py
+  ```
+
+### PDF Server Code Explanation
+
+The `PDFServer` class is a custom HTTP server that serves PDF files from a specified directory. It includes a custom HTML-styled listing for an enhanced user experience.
+
+- **Class Initialization**: Sets the directory and port for serving files.
+- **PDFRequestHandler**: A custom request handler that filters and displays only PDF files with a dark-themed, material-styled HTML format.
+  - **`list_directory`**: Overrides the directory listing method to filter only PDF files and style the output.
+  - **`generate_html`**: Generates HTML content, listing available PDF files with a custom dark theme.
+  - **`send_html_response`**: Sends the styled HTML response to the client.
 
 ## Configuration
 - **SCOPES**: OAuth scopes for Gmail API access.
