Easiest PDF plugin out there
by chiefsnake·2 months ago
This was the third PDF displayer I had tried. The others were too complicated to use and displayed too many options to the viewer on the front end. This one was perfect for what I wanted. Very nice plugin!

Very easy to install and I like the shortcode implementation. It’s also very easy to set the visibility of the reader controls.
