Embed PDF Viewer
By Andy Fragen
Description
This plugin allows you to embed a PDF from the Media Library or elsewhere via oEmbed or as a block into an iframe tag. The URL only needs to be a world-reachable link. Chrome utilizes Google Doc Viewer, which automatically renders embedded JS in PDFs. This plugin also supports mobile viewing through Google Doc Viewer.
Inspired by other plugins such as Embed PDF and RV Embed PDF, this plugin is designed to enhance your ability to display PDFs directly on your site. It is compatible with the new block editor, thanks to contributions from the community.
Development is ongoing on GitHub, and contributions are welcome. Please note that occasionally, Google Doc Viewer may not load the PDF correctly, but reloading the page usually resolves this issue.
