## Description

UAIP Yet Another PDF Editor puts a PDF viewer and editor on your pages. Visitors
can read a PDF, mark it up, sign it or fill it in, and download their own copy, 
all in the browser. Every feature is free: there is no premium version, no locked
settings and no upgrade notices.

#### Annotate and sign

 * Highlight text in five colours.
 * Draw freehand, in five colours and three sizes.
 * Add text boxes and images.
 * Sign: draw a signature with mouse, finger or pen, or type your name. Place, move
   and resize it anywhere on the page.
 * Undo, redo and delete.
 * Download saves everything into the visitor’s copy of the PDF. Nothing is uploaded
   to your site, so there is no personal data to store.
 * Turn it off site-wide or per block if you only want a viewer.

#### Viewer

 * Continuous scrolling with page numbers you can type in.
 * Search inside the document, with all matches highlighted.
 * Clickable links and a table of contents (outline).
 * Thumbnails sidebar.
 * Zoom: automatic, page width, page fit, actual size and percentages.
 * Download, print and full screen buttons (each can be turned off).
 * Text selection and copy.
 * Visitors can fill in PDF forms and download the completed copy.
 * Password-protected PDFs ask the visitor for the password.
 * Keyboard shortcuts and screen-reader labels; works with keyboard only.
 * Light, dark or automatic colours.

#### Fast pages

 * Nothing loads on pages without a PDF.
 * The viewer loads only when it scrolls into view, or when the visitor clicks “
   Load PDF” if you prefer.
 * No jQuery. PDFs are read straight from your Media Library, so large files load
   page by page.
 * Built on a current release of pdf.js (Mozilla’s PDF engine), which never runs
   JavaScript from inside a PDF.

#### Easy to use

 * **PDF Viewer block**: upload or pick a PDF, then set the height, start page, 
   zoom and toolbar buttons per block. The editor shows a live preview.
 * **Shortcode**: `[yape_pdf id="123"]` for classic content, widgets and page builders.
 * Turn a File block that links to a PDF into a PDF Viewer block in one click.

#### Coming next

Page tools (rotate, reorder, delete, merge, redact) in the Media Library, and sending
completed forms and signed PDFs to the site. All free.

## Installation

## FAQ

### Is there a premium version?

No. Everything is free.

### Which shortcode options are there?

[yape_pdf id=”123″ height=”80vh” page=”2″ zoom=”page-width” download=”no” print=”
no” search=”yes” sidebar=”yes” fullscreen=”yes” annotate=”no” thumbnails=”open” 
load=”click” toolbar=”none” title=”Annual report”]

Use `id` for a PDF from the Media Library, or `url` for a PDF at another address.`
width` limits the viewer’s maximum width.

### Can I show a PDF from another website?

Yes, with `url`, as long as that website allows cross-origin requests (CORS). Otherwise
browsers block it. Uploading the PDF to your Media Library always works.

### Does it stop people from downloading my PDF?

You can hide the download and print buttons. A PDF shown in a browser can still 
be saved by a determined visitor, so do not rely on this to protect confidential
files.

### Are signatures legally binding?

The signature is a picture of a handwritten or typed signature placed on the PDF,
like signing a printed page. It is not a cryptographic digital signature (certificate).
Whether that is enough depends on your use and your local laws.

### Where are annotations and signatures stored?

Only in the visitor’s browser until they download the PDF. Nothing is sent to your
site or anywhere else.

### Does the plugin contact external services?

No. All files are served from your own site.

### Does it work with security plugins and firewalls?

Yes. The viewer loads PDFs and its own files directly from your site and does not
send PDF addresses in request parameters, so firewall rules that block URLs in query
strings are not triggered.
