Easy to operate and show PDFs as part of your site

It is easy to use, and I like that the inline settings make the PDF look like the content of the site.
This plugin is epic

A genuine lifesaver. Much better than the adobe embed APi code they supply on their offical website.

Love it! Can zoom nicely on mobile <<< a must have imo.

Excellent plugin! Allows full mobile pinch-zooming where others don’t. I tried many other more widely downloaded but, yours works best! Thank you!
