Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Embed PDF with Smallpdf makes it easy to add PDF documents to your WordPress posts and pages. This plugin offers two convenient methods for embedding PDFs:

-

Gutenberg Block:

  • Add the block by clicking on the + button in the Gutenberg editor.
  • Search for “Embed PDF with Smallpdf”.
  • You can either upload a PDF from your media library or paste a PDF URL in the block details in the sidebar.
  • Adjust the height of the widget by specifying the size in pixels (px) from the sidebar.

-

Shortcode:

  • Use the shortcode [pdf url='_ADD_PDF_URL_HERE_'] to embed a PDF.
  • Control the height of the widget by adding the height parameter to the shortcode, e.g., [pdf url='' height='480']. The height value, in px, must be integer.

This flexibility allows you to seamlessly integrate PDF files into your content, ensuring they are easily accessible to your audience.
