Options to hide the download button, the print button and the text selection tool menu item in the PDF viewer toolbar. Please note: the options only use CSS and JavaScript code to hide the relative menu items/buttons in the PDF.js viewer toolbar. It’s NOT a DRM (Digital Rights Management) scheme to protect the PDF file. It does NOT stop experienced visitors from downloading, printing or copying text from the PDF file.

How to Use

You can use the following shortcode to embed a PDF file to WordPress posts or pages:

[wonderplugin_pdf src=”http://www.yourwordpresssite.com/yourdoc.pdf” width=”100%” height=”600px” style=”border:0;”]

PDF URL Requirements

The PDF file MUST be hosted on the SAME DOMAIN as the WordPress website.
The PDF URL MUST be an absolute URL, that’s, the URL must start with http:// or https://.
Make sure there are no special characters in the PDF URL, for example, apostrophes, double quotes, accented letters etc.
The PDF URL is defined with the src attribute.

Shortcode Attributes

You can use px or % for the width and height attributes, for example, 600px or 100%.
By using % for the width attribute, the PDF viewer will be responsive.
If you use 100% for the height attribute, make sure the container of the shortcode has a proper height value.
You can use the style attribute to define the CSS style of the PDF viewer which is an iframe.

Faq

Do the option “hide the download button”, “hide the print button” and “hide the text selection tool menu item” prevent people from downloading, printing or copying text from the PDF file?

No.

The options only use CSS and JavaScript code to hide the relative menu items/buttons in the PDF.js viewer toolbar. It’s NOT a DRM (Digital Rights Management) scheme to protect the PDF file. It does NOT stop experienced visitors from downloading, printing or copying text from the PDF file.

I received the error “An error occurred while loading the PDF” or “Missing PDF file”

Please check your PDF URL and make sure it complies with the following requirements:

The PDF file MUST be hosted on the SAME DOMAIN as the WordPress website.

Make sure there are no special characters in the PDF URL, for example, apostrophes, double quotes, accented letters etc.

Works!

By Alexander Guskov (forcesail) on February 22, 2024

Took 3 hours to push it worked: if a file is not accessed it report it as corrupted 🙁

Works with Ajax and popup!

By Edith Allison (terraGirl) on November 30, 2022

I needed a PDF viewer to work in a modal popup called with Ajax and this does the job! No JS errors like I had with EmbedPress, easy to use & fine with Ajax / Popup. Thank you very much!

Simply an excellent Plugin

This plugin is quite simple but complete and effective. We are delighted by the functionality of Wonder PDF Embed plugin and we are using it to share all our documents.

Ideal for protecting vanilla PDF in a copy protected website

By ArtistScope on July 21, 2020

This plugin will be ideal for protecting vanilla (raw) PDF embedded on web pages that use a copy protection solution like the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS). ASPS provides the most secure copy protection for all media displayed on web pages... except for PDF, because while PDF is unencrypted and normally opens using Adobe Reader resources, the embedded reader will always provide save, print and copy options in its toolbar. But with this plugin, those toolbar options can be removed, thus making it possible to copy protect PDF on ASPS web pages.

Excellent replacement of gview

But missing some parameters as adjusting height to a page size.

Works great on both desktop and mobile

By Nelmedia on September 23, 2018

Works great even on mobiles and has a lot of options, more than the other one that has less options even with the paid premium upgrade...!

Good plugin! Better than many popular ones

By feell-filin on August 4, 2018

I don't know why so few "5 stars" for this plugin. I spent an hour searching for a free plugin with needed options. I'm glad that I found this one!
