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.<\/p>\n\n<h4>How it works<\/h4>\n\n<p>The plugin generates an inline viewer powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/pdffixnow.com\/embed-pdf\">PDFFixNow<\/a>. Provide a public PDF URL and the viewer is rendered automatically inside an iframe on your post or page.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Two ways to embed<\/h4>\n\n<p><strong>1. Gutenberg Block<\/strong>\n- Open the block editor and click the <strong>+<\/strong> icon to add a new block.\n- Search for <strong>PDFFixNow Embed Viewer<\/strong>.\n- In the block sidebar, paste your PDF URL and set the viewer height in pixels.\n- The PDF renders as a preview inside the editor.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>2. Shortcode<\/strong>\nPlace the following shortcode anywhere in your content:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[pdffixnow url='https:\/\/example.com\/your-file.pdf']\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>To customise the height:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[pdffixnow url='https:\/\/example.com\/your-file.pdf' height='700']\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>The <code>height<\/code> value must be a whole number (pixels). Default is 500.<\/p>\n\n<h4>Features<\/h4>\n\n<ul>\n<li>No API key or account registration required<\/li>\n<li>Works with any publicly accessible PDF URL<\/li>\n<li>Mobile-responsive viewer<\/li>\n<li>PDF viewer is served from PDFFixNow's infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Clean reading experience for your visitors<\/li>\n<li>Supports both the Gutenberg block editor and classic shortcode<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Use of Third-Party Services<\/h4>\n\n<p>This plugin uses the PDF embed viewer provided by <a href=\"https:\/\/pdffixnow.com\">PDFFixNow<\/a> to display PDF documents. When a page containing the shortcode or block is loaded, the PDF URL you specified is passed to PDFFixNow's viewer at <code>https:\/\/pdffixnow.com\/embed-pdf<\/code> so the document can be rendered for your visitor.<\/p>\n\n<p>No personal visitor data is collected or transmitted by this plugin. The only information sent to PDFFixNow is the URL of the PDF file you choose to display.<\/p>\n\n<p>By installing and using this plugin you agree to PDFFixNow's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pdffixnow.com\/terms-of-use\">Terms of Use<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pdffixnow.com\/privacy-policy\">Privacy Policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<h4>From the WordPress Admin Dashboard<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Go to <strong>Plugins \u2192 Add New Plugin<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Search for <strong>PDFFixNow Embed Viewer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Click <strong>Install Now<\/strong>, then <strong>Activate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h4>Manual Installation<\/h4>\n\n<ol>\n<li>Download the plugin <code>.zip<\/code> file<\/li>\n<li>Extract it and upload the <code>embed-pdf-pdffixnow<\/code> folder to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code><\/li>\n<li>Go to <strong>Plugins \u2192 Installed Plugins<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Find <strong>PDFFixNow Embed Viewer<\/strong> and click <strong>Activate<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"do%20i%20need%20an%20account%20on%20pdffixnow%20to%20use%20this%20plugin%3F\"><h3>Do I need an account on PDFFixNow to use this plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>No. The plugin works without any account or API key.
