Reviews
Works great
This plugin works great right out of the box. I like the extra button that appears on page edit menus, no shortcodes to insert. Definitely 5 stars.
Simple & Reliable Document Sharing in Posts/Pages
So far it’s been the answer to how we are posting documents and white papers in posts and pages for our readers, allowing them to read the document online or download their own copy.
Thanks!
PERFECT!!

Works Great!
Thank you for making this plugin!!!
Works simply and smoothly
Yes, there could be more control given over the frame, but I’m very pleased with this. One suggestion: make the viewer choose Microsoft or Google automatically based on file type.
Doesn’t work as expected
Sounded good, looks good / well designed with simple options. However, the powerpoint slide viewer doesn’t actually work – when clicking the slide or left / right arrows the slide does not change. Furthermore, I wanted to restrict downloading the source file and although there is an option to prevent this, the native frame viewer has a download file option, which kind of defeats the point.
I suppose if you want a way to share documents in WP and are not concerned about copyright etc and downloading, then it does what it says on the tin.
