It means that if pdf is in the clipboard the paste command can stop being greyed out!
Otherwise the user is left to try and be told by the web-page: please please do it!

Similarly, shouldn't something such as
> if(event.clipboardData.isTypeSupported('foo/bar')) ...

be callable before the event is triggered?
This way the page can display the necessary invites to the user to make it clear that something can be copied?
