Take a look below:<\/p>\n

1. Get Dedicated PDF Block Or Widget, & More In EmbedPress<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

First, on our list of the top 3 WordPress PDF viewer plugins, we have <\/span>EmbedPress<\/b><\/a> – the ultimate embedding solution for WordPress which allows you to seamlessly embed any content from over <\/span>150 sources, <\/b>that too using no codes. With <\/span>40,000+\u00a0 active users<\/b>, this plugin is growing constantly with each passing moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"PDF<\/p>\n

EmbedPress has been fully compatible to <\/span>embed PDF files and documents<\/b><\/a> into WordPress from the very beginning. But with its latest update, it has made embedding PDF files even easier by bringing you a dedicated <\/span>EmbedPress PDF Block<\/b> for the Gutenberg editor and an <\/span>EmbedPress PDF widget<\/b> for Elementor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With these two dedicated features from this easy-to-use plugin, you can upload any PDF files from your device or personal media library and embed them anywhere on your website. All you have to do is follow the quick steps given below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

🎯 Embed In Gutenberg Block Editor:\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

To be able to embed PDF files on WordPress\u2019 block editor, simply select the \u2018<\/span>EmbedPress PDF block\u2019<\/b> and click on the <\/span>\u2018Media Library\u2019<\/b> button. You will be able to choose any PDF that you want to embed onto your WordPress website content and EmbedPress will automatically upload the PDF or document file into your web post or page.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

You can also <\/span>use EmbedPress with Elementor<\/b><\/a> to embed PDF files using the dedicated widget developed especially for users of this page builder – \u2018EmbedPress PDF\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

The best part about using EmbedPress as your WordPress PDF viewer plugin is that you can easily <\/span>adjust the width and height <\/b>of your PDF or document on Gutenberg, or customize it however you want, and even choose the alignment from the Elementor Editor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

EmbedPress will instantly embed a fully<\/span> responsive PDF or document<\/b> file for your website visitors to view, as shown below, which can be easily zoomed in to, or used to navigate to different pages from, and customize from the website front end as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

2. Embed PDF Files Using JavaScript With PDF Embedder<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Next up, on our list, we have the <\/span>PDF Embedder<\/b><\/a> – an immensely popular plugin for WordPress with over 300,000 active installations. Unlike EmbedPress, however, this plugin has been developed solely for the purpose of embedding fully responsive PDF files into your website with the use of JavaScript codes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

The plugin is built to help web creators use <\/span>JavaScript only to embed files<\/b><\/a> with a fully functional toolbar allowing users to customize, navigate through completely free, and even download the PDF file with the premium version. It <\/span>does not<\/span> even use iFrame\u2019s HTML codes or third-party services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Just by clicking on the \u2018<\/strong><\/span>Add <\/b>Media\u2019<\/b> button from any page or post, you can simply embed any PDF file by the use of the plugin\u2019s drag and drop feature. The PDF file will then appear in the editor as a \u2018<\/span>shortcode<\/b>\u2019 which you can customize with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"WordPress<\/p>\n

The use of Javascript allows you to have more flexibility on how your PDF documents will appear on your website, especially because all Javascript files are served by the plugin\u2019s own server. You can also enter the width manually and the plugin will automatically calculate the height.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The PRO plugin<\/b> also gives you clickable hyperlinks, full-screen view modes, and the added protection that makes it difficult for users to download or print the original PDF document.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Add Unlimited Files With The PRO PDF Viewer For WordPress<\/b><\/b><\/h3>\n

And finally, we have the <\/span>PDF Viewer For WordPress<\/b><\/a> – a high-quality premium WordPress PDF viewer plugin that will enable you to embed an unlimited number of responsive PDFs. It is one of the most powerful, feature-rich viewer plugins on the WordPress market and like EmbedPress, you do not require any coding knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n
