PDF Native Embedder widget Web Accessibility issue

    Hi,

    We love this plugin because it allows us to embed PDFs and display a preview directly on the front end of our website.

    However, when running the IBM Equal Access Accessibility Checker, it flags the following accessibility issue:

    “Inline frame does not have a ‘title’ attribute.”

    Please see the attached screenshot for reference.

    We are using the PDF Native Embedder widget, which automatically generates the iframe. Unfortunately, the widget settings do not provide an option to add the required title attribute.

    Is there a workaround to add a title attribute to the generated iframes?

    Thank you for your help!

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Let me look into the missing title attribute on the inline frame that you’re seeing. Once I’ve checked it and worked out a fix, I’ll get back to you with an update.

    Thanks for your patience in the meantime.

    Thank you! Are we able to change the ‘title’ attribute values?

    I see it’s currently set to title=”PDF Viewer”, according to accessibility guidelines, each iframe must have a unique title attribute.

    thanks!

    Thank you for sharing the details of your request.

    Currently, this feature is not available in the plugin. We are working on improving it, and a new version will be released within the next 2-3 days. The latest version will include the option to customize the iframe title.

    Thank you again for your understanding and patience.

    Hello @rose18,

    Thank you for your patience.

    The feature to add a custom title attribute to the iframe has now been added. Please update the plugin to the latest version, which includes this feature. After updating, you will find the option in the PDF settings section of the settings panel.

    We hope you enjoy the new feature!
