I’ve tried a few and found this to be the best
by revanslacey·8 months ago
The presentation is not in the preview but shows landscape presentations just fine and scales to 100% – unlike any of the other ones I tried.
Highly functional and easy to use
by Senri Miura·10 months ago
It works without any problems on smartphones. It’s great that it’s highly functional yet simple and easy to use.
However, if I may be greedy, I would like to be able to set default values for height, etc. in the plugin settings screen.
Also, I would like to be able to check the media file names of blocks embedded within blocks.

The best PDF Viewer
by Kerfred·4 years ago
Very easy to install and to use. No need to configure anything.
And it works out of the box.
Great but Edge browser incompatible
by whdyer·5 years ago
A great block for PDF display but the block is incompatible with the current Microsoft edge browser and returns a false phishing warning page instead of PDF content. Works great in current Chrome browser. Will update to 5 stars when Edge is again supported properly.
