 * This plugin only works with files in your media library. There are no shortcodes.
 * You can either select the file from your media library for insertion or you can
   place the URL for the PDF on a line by itself. The URL must point to the PDF 
   in your Media Library.

 * Hi. There seems to be no documentation with the plugin? How does one insert a
   link to a PDF on a page?

 * [@donpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/donpro/), not sure I understand.
   If you add a link to your post/page that points to a PDF, that PDF will display
   in your post/page. There will also be a link to the PDF below the iframe showing
   the PDF.
