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

PDFFixNow Embed Viewer makes it simple to display PDF documents directly inside your WordPress content. Whether you are sharing a product brochure, a company report, a legal document, or any other PDF file, your visitors can read it right on the page without leaving your site.

How it works

The plugin generates an inline viewer powered by PDFFixNow. Provide a public PDF URL and the viewer is rendered automatically inside an iframe on your post or page.

Two ways to embed

1. Gutenberg Block

– Open the block editor and click the + icon to add a new block.

– Search for PDFFixNow Embed Viewer.

– In the block sidebar, paste your PDF URL and set the viewer height in pixels.

– The PDF renders as a preview inside the editor.

2. Shortcode

Place the following shortcode anywhere in your content:

pdf']

To customise the height:

pdf' height='700']

The height value must be a whole number (pixels). Default is 500.

  • Works with any publicly accessible PDF URL
  • Mobile-responsive viewer
  • PDF viewer is served from PDFFixNow’s infrastructure
