App Details

Adobe Embedded PDF Viewer is a FREE plugin that allows you to easily embed high-fidelity PDF viewing into your posts and pages with collaboration, security, and analytics. Deliver the highest quality PDF rendering available and streamline user experiences with custom viewer modes and digital collaboration through annotation tools. Extend the viewer with PDF usage analytics to understand how users interact with your documents.

Embedded PDFs can be displayed in four PDF viewer modes:

  • Lightbox: Displays PDF files in a modal.
  • Sized Container: Displays PDF files in a presentation-style container with landscape orientation. Each page of the embedded PDF file appears as a slide. This is the default mode that applies to all embedded PDFs.
  • In-Line: Displays PDF files inline within the content of the page or post itself. When using this mode, all pages within the embedded PDF file are displayed at once.
  • Full Window: The viewing area fits the size of the parent element and can be customized to cover the entire browser window. Unlike the Sized Container mode, which also fits the size of the parent element, the Full Window mode allows your visitors to use annotation tools, navigate pages using PDF thumbnails, and access other features of the Full Window embed mode of the Adobe PDF Embed API.

The plugin allows you to control how PDF files are displayed on your website and what viewer options your visitors have access to.

Adobe Embedded PDF Viewer is JavaScript-based and uses the Adobe PDF Embed API to display PDFs in the browser.

Adobe Embedded PDF Viewer is part of Adobe Acrobat Services, cloud-based REST APIs, SDKs, and integrations to automate digital document workflows for PDF creation, conversion, PDF content extraction, document generation with signatures, and more. Learn more at Adobe Acrobat Services

By installing and activating this plugin, you acknowledge that you agree to the Adobe General Terms of Use. To learn more about how user data may be collected or used, please see the Adobe Privacy Policy.

Note: In Full Window embed mode, the PDF viewing area fits the size of the parent element.

Getting started

To use Adobe Embedded PDF Viewer, you need a client ID (API key). To get a client ID, follow these steps:

  1. Visit the Adobe Acrobat Services website, complete the required fields and select Create Credentials.
  2. Once complete, copy the client ID (API key) from your project’s console.
  3. In your WordPress admin dashboard, navigate to Adobe Embedded PDF Viewer > General Settings and paste the client ID into the Client ID (API Key) field.

You can integrate the plugin with your Adobe Analytics account (requires separate licensing). Navigate to Adobe Embedded PDF Viewer > General Settings, enter your Report Suite ID in the field, and follow the steps outlined in the guide on configuring Adobe Analytics to correctly map the data from Embedded PDF Viewer to your Analytics report suite.

Usage

The plugin provides the Embedded PDF Viewer block for the Gutenberg editor. See the block editor usage guide for instructions on how to work with blocks in WordPress.

In the Gutenberg editor, you can embed a PDF using the following steps:

  1. Toggle Block Inserter in the top-left corner of the editor and search for Adobe Embedded PDF Viewer. You can find it under the Embed category.
  2. Add the block to your post or page and select Media Library. In the dialog, select or upload the PDF file you want to embed. The preview of your PDF appears in the editor.
  3. You can configure the viewer settings for your PDF in the Block settings tab in the right sidebar of the editor. Sized Container is the default embed mode for the Gutenberg editor.

Note: Sized Container is the default embed mode for the Embedded PDF Viewer block, and the site-wide embed mode settings do not apply. You can change the embed mode for individual PDFs using the Block settings tab in the right sidebar.
