In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Chrome not show pdfHi @asianmed,
I see 5 PDFs linked at the bottom of that page. When I click on the linked thumbnails, the PDFs open in the browser default handler. If you want them to open in the PDF Embedder viewer, you would need to link those PDFs to the attachment page for the media file. This will work with the Premium version of the plugin. With the free version, you would link to the document directly.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Using the Media ID instead of its URLHi @tigroumeow,
It would require a rewrite of the plugin and how it retrieves the file but it is an interesting idea that I will pass along to the developers for consideration.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Use without skillsHi @wardyzta,
Absolutely you can—JS knowledge is not required at all. There is a simple visual settings screen for you to customize the appearance and behaviour of the viewer.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Attachments Showing image versus titleHi @zigzagnico,
Posting here as per our email discussion for other users:
The PDF Embedder Premium does not create any thumbnail images. Your WordPress installation or another plugin is automatically creating a thumbnail image of the PDF document. These are the 3 sizes of image you are seeing associated in the provided screenshot. You can disable this within your Settings > Media—by setting these to 0 (particularly the Medium and Large sizes) you will eliminate the multiple images. You may still wish to keep the real thumbnail sized image enabled or set this to 0 as well.
When you add the attachment page link to the lesson, make sure that you are setting the link as Title and not Thumbnail under the Media dropdown menu.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Short pages won’t show entire PDFHi @3cstudio,
I’m not sure what theme you are using but if it includes an option for “Smooth Scrolling”, try disabling that as it might be interfering with the correct calculation of the height of the embedded PDF.
Another alternative is with a bit of CSS. This should go into your Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS field or a custom CSS field if your theme provides that:
/* FIX FOR PDF EMBEDDER HEIGHT */ .custom-fixed-height { min-height: 800px !important; } div.attachment .post-content { min-height: 800px !important; }Assign a custom class to the parent container surrounding the PDF Embedder and force the page height to match. Hopefully this will give you some insight and a solution for your own page layout.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Take URL to display PDFHi @lemodels,
You’re going to need to dip into some PHP coding in order to accomplish this. To start off, you’ll need to create a custom page template to use for this purpose (https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/), then use your a custom function on that page to dynamically pull the PDF media file id associated with the user, find it’s URL, and stick it into the shortcode that renders the embedded viewer.
Some documentation for using a dynamic URL:
- Retrieve the most recent media file: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/28484/get-most-recent-media-upload
- Modify that code snippet to get the URL of the media (PDF) file instead: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_attachment_url,
- Then insert that URL into the shortcode using the do_shortcode function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/do_shortcode/
While customisations like this are beyond the scope of our support capabilities, I hope that this will at least get you pointed in the right direction.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] invisible iconsHi @joseguzmancl,
Missing icons would indicate a CSS conflict with another plugin or your theme. The best way to test this would be to use the browser’s Developer Tools > Inspect Element to determine what CSS is overwriting the PDF Embedder’s button CSS. In particular, you would be looking at CSS styles for the “button” element. In most cases, you could add the !important attribute to a custom CSS rule for the PDF Embedder buttons.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Suddenly having issues rendering a PDFHi @daveporter,
When you say that the newsletter isn’t being displayed, is the viewer empty or not being rendered at all, or do you reuse the embed with a new document and a previous one is being shown instead?
What version of the PDF Embedder are you currently using? Does the problem occur in all browsers or certain ones? Have there been any updates to your site (other plugins, theme) between when the embedded viewer worked and when it didn’t?
Are there any differences in how the missing PDF was formatted? If you reproduce the PDF with a new file name and upload it again, does the PDF still remain missing?
If you have any other questions, please feel free to send an email to contact@wp-pdf.com as we may not see messages posted here to respond in a timely fashion.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] PDF does not load with W3 Total CacheHi @millesm,
It looks like you have the PDF Embedder working but in case you do not have the caching plugin enabled and for future reference, the file paths are incorrect. They should be:
- /wp-content/plugins/pdf-embedder/js/all-pdfemb-basic-4.6.min.js,
- /wp-content/plugins/pdf-embedder/js/pdfjs/pdf-4.6.min.js, and
- /wp-content/plugins/pdf-embedder/js/pdfjs/pdf-4.6.worker.min.js

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Seeking reliable and robust PDF search functionalityHi @coastodian,
I am sorry to disappoint you but the viewer does not support selectable or searchable text within the embedded PDF document. This is something that we are looking at adding to the plugin in a future update; I will add your comments to our feature request list to record your interest in this improvement to the plugin.
I do want to mention that while the contents of the document are not searchable when viewed by a user, the contents are available to search engines for indexing and SEO purposes. The documents can also be searched for on your site just like any other media items, page, or post using the WP search functionality.

In reply to: [PDF Embedder] Print PDFHi @willnev,
The Premium version of the plugin does allow printing / downloading. You do need to enable the download button from the plugin settings. Once you do that, depending on the visitor’s browser preferences, they will be able to download and/or print the PDF from your site. Please see our FAQ and the Premium set up instructions.
