PDF Poster Pro

From PDF file to WordPress embed

PDF Poster Pro adds viewing and reading options to PDF Poster files placed in WordPress posts, pages, widgets, and templates. Use it to show brochures, eBooks, business documents, reports, portfolios, menus, catalogues, and other PDFs for readers on the page.

Start with an uploaded PDF or import one through the Google Drive picker or Dropbox. Create a PDF Poster document, pick its viewer and settings, then place it with a Gutenberg block, the [pdf_embed] shortcode, or the classic editor. Responsive sizing lets you set independent height and width values for desktop, tablet, and mobile layouts.

Choose how pages appear

The Adobe PDF viewer uses the Adobe PDF Embed API and includes Adobe viewing modes such as lightbox. Continuous Scroll presents every page in one uninterrupted scroll, which can suit long reports and extended documents.

Reader Mode shows the document without the toolbar or surrounding frame. You can add a thumbnail sidebar and choose whether it opens by default. Set an initial page and default zoom to control where reading begins. For wide documents, make horizontal scrolling the default or conceal the right toolbar to reduce the available controls.

Set branding and viewer controls

Add a logo watermark across every page, on its own or with text. Choose the Brand Corner, Logo Wash, or Logo Adsheet theme. You can rename the download and full-screen button labels, open full-screen view in a new tab, and place the action bar above or below the viewer.

Reuse documents and review activity

Save a block’s complete configuration in the preset library to reuse it across the site. When you replace a PDF file, its latest version can load in every embed without relinking each placement.

PDF Poster Pro includes analytics history and trends for PDF activity. It counts daily views and downloads in your WordPress database, with no third-party service and no IP address stored. Content protection is also listed among its capabilities.
