Had to delete the plugin and upload a previous version. Rare for a plugin update to torpedo the entire site anymore, so this is unacceptable. Otherwise the plugin is useful for presenting PDFs on site pages, though often documents take too long to load. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/605e36ff1558d061873c68c50e8e6c8e40ec6abe9ebcad4ef88d2a31bfd60d66? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Document loading problems](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/document-loading-problems/)󠁿 [sjplma7937](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sjplma7937/) مې 17, 2023 WP 6.2; Kadence Theme; Displaying several long or short PDF docs.

Shortcode is entered directly in the content panel. No need to ever copy and paste. If you are using elementor you will need to manually copy this shortcode and enter into a “shortcode” widget on your elementor page. Or in my case copy it into a custom text field for elementor to dynamically pick up. Works perfectly. Thanks ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d3016f2627463b5dbd986b4e681e9fe7834a5888e8ee340d3b958f959fa50288? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent Plugin for Displaying PDF without Surrendering the File](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-plugin-for-displaying-pdf-without-surrendering-the-file/)󠁿 [brendankelly](https://profiles.wordpress.org/brendankelly/) نوومبر 21, 2021 1 reply This plugin is an invaluable alternative to posting a downloadable PDF file.
