The full version uses subscription charges
by Polaris·3 weeks ago·1 reply
Beware, this pluging uses a very common marketing methode for WordPress plugins.
The paiid version loses all the Premium feature at the moment you are not having an active subscription. I.e, you are not just stopped from receiving updates, you just thrown back to the basic version.
Additionally, there are many non constant display issues related to scrolling the document inside the infrare, tool bar changes it’s look spontaneously, and there is no document preview ahown on mobile, but just a button to open the file in new window.
Impressively Stable

Exactly What I Need
by jfortune·3 years ago
I am a theatre director and I use my website to communicate with my performers and technical crews.
I wanted to SHOW them documents in situ as well as enable them to easily download them and, after looking at other solutions, this plugin is PERFECT for this.
I am delighted with it and cannot recommend it highly enough.
