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.

How to Use
You can use the following shortcode to embed a PDF file to WordPress posts or pages:
The PDF file MUST be hosted on the SAME DOMAIN as the WordPress website.
The PDF URL MUST be an absolute URL, that’s, the URL must start with http:// or https://.
Make sure there are no special characters in the PDF URL, for example, apostrophes, double quotes, accented letters etc.
The PDF URL is defined with the src attribute.
Shortcode Attributes
You can use px or % for the width and height attributes, for example, 600px or 100%.
By using % for the width attribute, the PDF viewer will be responsive.
If you use 100% for the height attribute, make sure the container of the shortcode has a proper height value.
You can use the style attribute to define the CSS style of the PDF viewer which is an iframe.
