Embed Any Document Instantly with the #1 No-Code Plugin – Trusted by 10,000+ WordPress Sites

Document Embedder | Documentation | Pricing | Support | Demo

Document Embedder allows you to embed PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other document formats directly into WordPress posts and pages. It supports local file uploads as well as files hosted on platforms like Google Drive and Dropbox. Files are displayed using the Google Drive viewer and can be configured to match your layout.

The new Document Library module adds a powerful way to organize and display multiple documents in a structured library. You can upload files from your device, WordPress Media Library, or via URL, rename or delete documents easily, and display them with customizable layouts. The library includes search, filter, and sorting options, a responsive design, and full control over view and download buttons. Shortcode and Gutenberg block support make it easy to add libraries anywhere on your site.

This plugin is ideal for sharing reports, presentations, worksheets, guides, and other materials without requiring visitors to download them or leave your site.

Paid/PRO version worse than free version

By mehlmanmedical (theforwardmale) on March 31, 2022

Plugin has a bug that prevents the actual document from loading on the webpage unless the end-user’s internet is super fast. Meaning, sometimes you’ll load a page and say, “Wait, where’s the document that’s supposed to be here?” Then you refresh the page once or twice and the document appears. So for people coming to your site, it leaves a bad impression. Only way around this is to mandatory add the Download File button to each page, so if the file doesn’t load on the screen, at least the end-user will see the download button and can access the file that way. However this means you now need to make all your files downloadable to everyone coming to your site. Now, as of August 2020, when I went to add a new document, all of a sudden you can’t add a Download button unless you PAY THEM $15. Little parsimonious weasels. I have so many embedded docs on my site that I just paid because it’s not worth my TIME to reconfigure everything. Wouldn’t have bothered leaving a review, but the sudden desire to charge people for BASIC features (not even anything special) opens you up to getting slammed.
