It’s the PDF viewer of choice for eBooks, digital magazines, product catalogs, brochures, manuals, newsletters, and reports.

This data helps us improve the plugin and troubleshoot issues. 🛡️ By default, Appsero SDK **does not collect any data**. Data collection begins ** only if you allow it**. No personal or sensitive information is gathered without your permission.

Use the shortcode `[pdfev_embed_viewer id="post_id"]`, replacing `post_id` with the ID of your uploaded PDF post. ### How do I show a PDF as a flipbook instead of a plain embed? Every uploaded PDF automatically gets an interactive 3D Flipbook view — visitors can toggle between the Flipbook and a Traditional (standard) viewer right on the page, no extra setup needed. ### Can I create a gallery or archive of multiple PDFs? Yes! Use `[pdfev_viewer template="list"]`, `[pdfev_viewer template="grid"]`, `[pdfev_viewer template="ebook"]`, or `[pdfev_viewer template="newsletter"]` to display different archive layouts. ### Does it support right-to-left (RTL) documents like Arabic or Hebrew PDFs? Yes. Each document has its own Reading Direction setting — when set to RTL, the flipbook, its Previous/Next navigation, and the E-Book grid’s hover animation all mirror correctly for that document, independent of your site’s overall language. ### Will the single PDF page match my theme, including block themes? Yes. The single PDF view renders using your active theme’s own header and footer— including modern block themes like Twenty Twenty-Five — so it looks like a native part of your site, not a plugin bolt-on. ### Does the plugin support Elementor? Yes, the plugin includes Elementor widgets for both archive and single PDF views. You can drag-and-drop PDF lists or individual PDF viewers into your pages, with full support for shortcode attributes and visual customization. ### Can I organize my PDFs by category? Yes, you can assign categories to your PDFs, making it easy to organize and allow users to browse documents by topic or type. ### Can I use my PDFs from a remote server? Yes, you can link to a PDF hosted on a remote server, or clone it into your own Media Library with one click. ### How do I track how many times a PDF is read or downloaded? The plugin automatically tracks reads and downloads. You can view the counts in the plugin settings and post list. ### Is there an option to show or hide the download and view counters on buttons? Yes, you can enable or disable the read (view) and download counters on the action buttons from the plugin settings. ### Can I customize the archive page URL and titles? Yes, you can change the archive page slug and title from the plugin settings. ### How do I switch between the Traditional PDF View and 3D Flipbook View? You can choose your preferred mode in the plugin’s settings. ### Does the plugin support multiple languages? Yes, it is translation-ready and compatible with multilingual websites. ### Can I override the plugin templates in my child theme? Yes, copy the desired template files from the plugin’s `template/` folder to your child theme (e.g., `your-child-theme/template/archive.php`). You can then modify the copied files as needed. ### How do I import demo content? Click the “Import Demo” button in the plugin settings to quickly add sample content. ### Will this plugin slow down my website? No, the plugin is lightweight and optimized for fast performance. ### Do I need coding knowledge to use this plugin? No coding skills are required. You can manage everything with shortcodes and plugin settings. ### Is Appsero collecting my private data? No. Appsero only collects basic telemetry data after you give permission. It’s 100% optional and secure. ## Сын-пикирлер ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c51e464bcc11f3acf556741eb3f255d1f7ec67244e94585be132e6a3b66ebdbf? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excellent!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excellent-14254/)󠁿 [Thobie](https://profiles.wordpress.org/thobie/) Май 11, 2026-ж. 1 reply The plugin works flawlessly and is very stable.

[Browse the code](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/pdf-embed-viewer/), check out the [SVN repository](https://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/pdf-embed-viewer/), or subscribe to the [development log](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/pdf-embed-viewer/) by [RSS](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/pdf-embed-viewer/?limit=100&mode=stop_on_copy&format=rss). ## Өзгөртүүлөр #### 1.5.3 * Fixed: the flipbook could fail to open on some hosts/CDNs with a “Bad end offset” error and a blank viewer, caused by HTTP Range request responses for the PDF file being altered in transit. The viewer now always fetches the full file in one request instead of relying on Range support. #### 1.5.2 * Renamed the plugin from “3D Flipbook PDF Viewer & Embedder” to “Flipbook PDF Viewer & Embedder”. * Trimmed the plugin’s WordPress.org search tags down to the 5 that actually count toward search ranking. #### 1.5.1 * Added a per-document Reading Direction (RTL/LTR) setting — the flipbook, its Previous/Next arrows, and the E-Book archive grid’s hover effect all now flip correctly for Arabic/Hebrew and other right-to-left documents, on a per-book basis. * Redesigned the E-Book archive grid: a smoother 3D cover-flip animation, a real preview of the document’s second page rendered on hover (instead of a placeholder icon), hardcover-style page-thickness edges, and a fully responsive grid sized to the covers themselves. * Fixed the single PDF page’s header and footer looking different from the rest of the site on block themes (e.g. a smaller site title, missing navigation) — it now matches the theme’s own header/footer exactly. * Fixed a block theme adding its own duplicate title, a blank byline, and unrelated content (a second Previous/Next navigation, a “more posts” list) around the plugin’s single PDF page. * Fixed the single PDF page’s title/actions and Previous/Next navigation not lining up with the width of the PDF viewer below them. * Fixed a large empty gap that could appear at the bottom of the single PDF page on block themes. * Added a “Download to Media Library” button to clone a remote PDF URL into your own site’s Media Library. * The Featured Image box now stays in sync with the Book Cover preview when you set a featured image. * Redesigned the Book Info and Template tabs of the PDF editor screen with the same modern dropdowns, panels, and description editor as the rest of the settings. * Added a Copy button for the single-item shortcode shown in the post editor. * Fixed the settings page’s bottom Save button not submitting the form. #### 1.5.0 * Redesigned the settings page and the PDF editor screen with a modern sidebar- navigation layout, cards, toggles, and styled dropdowns. * Security: settings save now also verifies the current user’s capability, not just the nonce. * Fixed: flipbook scripts and styles were being loaded on every page of the site instead of only pages that actually display a PDF viewer. * Added extensibility hooks so an official Pro add-on can offer secure PDF delivery and extra flipbook display options, without modifying this plugin’s files. #### 1.4.4 * Security fix: PDF proxy endpoint could be used to reach internal/private network addresses; now restricted to public http(s) hosts and verified PDF responses only. * Security fix: post save and download-counter requests are now properly nonce- verified. * Fixed: admin list columns for download/view counts no longer routed through translation lookups. * Fixed: featured image upload now verifies the file is a real image before saving. #### 1.4.2 * file size and pages count added with settings. #### 1.4.1 * pagination upgrade to ajax load more. #### 1.4.0 * Author, Description, Published Year, Published Edition fields Added. * Global setting to display/hide of these info settings added. * all template design updated with buttons. #### 1.3.9 * fixed. shortcode for single item id missing issue. #### 1.3.8 * pdf.js and pdf.worker.js library update. #### 1.3.7 * on plugin activation show dummy data import notice. #### 1.3.6 * Remote pdf file can be used instead of uploaded. #### 1.3.5 * github to wordpress release #### 1.3.4 * Translation Updated * France language Updated #### 1.3.3 * Added category feature 🏷️ * Elementor widgets now support category selection 🧩 #### 1.3.2 * Fixed full width issue in archive list view #### 1.3.1 * Fixed settings options saving issue #### 1.3.0 * Added Elementor Widgets Support 🧩 * Introduced Archive View and Single View Widgets #### 1.2.8 * Refactored code * Added support form * Adjusted width for single and shortcode pages * Added preview image setup #### 1.2.7 * Fixed toggle button for single page shortcode * Backend now shows file size and total pages #### 1.2.6 * Added PDF preview thumbnail generation 🖼️ * Set featured image from preview thumbnail #### 1.2.5 * Fixed admin icons * Added Shortcode Generator 🛠️ #### 1.2.4 * Added template shortcode attribute * Added ebook cover flipping style on hover 📚 * Updated ebook design #### 1.2.3 * Fixed archive view pagination #### 1.2.2 * Updated single page template * Updated shortcode view for 3D flipbook #### 1.2.1 * Fixed empty page loading issue #### 1.2.0 * Added 3D flipbook library 📖 #### 1.1.2 * Added demo pages for shortcode view 🚀 * Fixed default counter value * Refactored code #### 1.1.1 * Added option to return page when using shortcode * Added setting to show/hide counter * Refactored code #### 1.1.0 * Fixed missing template file error #### 1.0.10 * Fixed download button counter * Added read button show/hide settings * Improved button styles * Added template hook for editing templates * Added download and read data to post table #### 1.0.9 * Improved grid and ebook archive view responsiveness and CSS #### 1.0.8 * Fixed fatal error with count manager * Fixed single page navigation icon #### 1.0.7 * Added PDF read and download counters 📊 * Updated translations #### 1.0.6 * Fixed demo import button 🚀 * Updated translations #### 1.0.5 * Made archive page slug editable from settings * Added import demo button 🚀 * Updated translations #### 1.0.4 * Added shortcode for single view * Improved button translation and read button * Added download button hover effect * Added shortcode section to general tab * Added shortcode column to backend #### 1.0.3 * Added shortcode for 4 template views * Fixed color changing issue for templates * Added translation for template header * Inserted sample data on activation #### 1.0.2 * Set up Appsero analytics #### 1.0.1 * Added admin support info #### 1.0.0 * Initial release 🎉 ## Мета * Нуска **1.5.3** * Акыркы жаңыртуу **7 күн мурун** * Активдүү орнотуулар **200+** * WordPress нускасы ** 3.0 же андан жогору ** * Tested up to **7.0.4** * PHP нускасы ** 7.0 же андан жогору ** * Тил * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pdf-embed-viewer/) * Тег: * [3d flipbook](https://ky.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/3d-flipbook/)[ebook](https://ky.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ebook/) [flipbook](https://ky.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/flipbook/)[pdf embed](https://ky.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/pdf-embed/) [pdf viewer](https://ky.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/pdf-viewer/) * [Advanced View](https://ky.wordpress.org/plugins/pdf-embed-viewer/advanced/) ## Рейтинг 5 out of 5 stars. * [ 6 5-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-embed-viewer/reviews/?filter=5) * [ 0 4-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-embed-viewer/reviews/?filter=4) * [ 0 3-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-embed-viewer/reviews/?filter=3) * [ 0 2-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-embed-viewer/reviews/?filter=2) * [ 0 1-star reviews ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-embed-viewer/reviews/?filter=1) [Your review](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-embed-viewer/reviews/#new-post) [See all reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-embed-viewer/reviews/) ## Мүчөлөрү * [ Shahadat Hossain ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/raselsha/) ## Колдоо Issues resolved in last two months: 0 out of 1 [Колдоо форумун көрүү](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/pdf-embed-viewer/)
