Limited to 15 MB
by E-text S.r.l.·2 years ago
The plugin is limited to 15 MB, beyond this size it eliminates extra pages. Unfortunately, the limit is not very clear. I installed the plugin and used for many files, but now I have to change it. A big waste of time. They should warn about the limit more clearly.
Thanks for a great plugin!

When adding a shortcode, the viwer window is being shown and after some loading time it sais “That does not seem to be a valid PDF url. Please check so the PDF exists” but it definately is a valid url.
