**The Ultimate PDF Embedder Plugin for WordPress, Loved by Over 20,000+ Users**

[**PDF Poster**](https://bplugins.com/products/pdf-poster/) | [**Documentation**](https://bplugins.com/docs/pdf-poster/)
| [**Pricing**](https://bplugins.com/products/pdf-poster/pricing) | [**Support**](https://bplugins.com/support/)
| [**Demo**](https://bplugins.com/products/pdf-poster/#demos)

[**PDF Poster**](https://bplugins.com/products/pdf-poster/) is a flexible plugin
that allows you to embed PDF documents directly into WordPress posts, pages, widgets,
or templates. Whether you’re sharing brochures, eBooks, business files, or portfolios,
the plugin provides a responsive and accessible layout that works across all devices.

Embed with the Gutenberg block, the `[pdf_embed]` shortcode, or the classic editor—
whichever fits how you already work. The free version ships three viewers (the bundled
PDF.js viewer, an interactive FlipBook and a Slider), independent height and width
for desktop, tablet and mobile, print, download and full-screen buttons, social 
sharing, light/dark theming, RTL support and progressive loading for large files.
Content protection, watermarking, the Adobe and Continuous Scroll viewers, popups
and cloud imports are [Pro](https://bplugins.com/products/pdf-poster/pricing).

### Key Features – Free Version

Everything below is in the free plugin. No trial, no locked toggles.

**Three viewers, no configuration**

 * **Default Viewer**: The bundled Mozilla PDF.js engine — page navigation, zoom,
   text search and text selection, on desktop and mobile.
 * **FlipBook Viewer**: A realistic page-turn book with a page-flip sound you can
   switch off.
 * **Slider Viewer**: One page at a time, swipe or click through — ideal for brochures
   and menus.
 * **FlipBook from Images**: Build a page-flip book from an ordered set of images
   instead of a PDF, for scanned or design-tool output.

**Embed it anywhere**

 * **Two Gutenberg Blocks**: The _PDF Poster_ block to embed a file directly, and
   the _PDF Poster Selector_ block to drop in a document you already saved.
 * **Shortcode**: Use `[pdf_embed]` in any post, page, widget or template — every
   viewer option is available as an attribute.
 * **Classic Editor Metabox**: A full settings panel on every PDF Poster document,
   so you never have to touch a block to configure a viewer.

**Responsive by device**

 * **Separate Height & Width for Desktop, Tablet and Mobile**: Set each breakpoint
   independently instead of forcing one size everywhere.
 * **Device Preview Switcher**: Flip between desktop, tablet and mobile while you
   configure, in both the block and the metabox.

**Reading experience**

 * **Viewer Theme (Light / Dark / Auto)**: Themes the viewer toolbar and background.
   The PDF page content is never altered.
 * **RTL Layout (Off / On / Auto)**: Flips the viewer and toolbar for Arabic, Hebrew
   and other right-to-left languages, across every viewer.
 * **Keyboard Navigation**: Left and right arrow keys change pages in all viewers.
 * **Annotation Mode**: Shows the notes, highlights, comments and clickable links
   already saved inside the PDF.
 * **Open PDF Links in a New Tab**: Links clicked inside the document open in a 
   new tab, keeping your page open.
 * **Filename Display**: Show the document name above the viewer.

**Actions and sharing**

 * **Print**: Let visitors print straight from the viewer, or turn printing off.
 * **Download Button**: One-click download above the viewer.
 * **Full-Screen Button with Your Own Label**: Rename it for your language or your
   wording.
 * **Social Sharing**: Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest and email buttons,
   placed above or below the viewer, each one individually switchable.

**Styling**

 * **Button and Title Styling**: Background colour, text colour, font size and padding
   for the action buttons, plus the title font size — no CSS needed.

**Performance and reliability**

 * **Fast Loading (Progressive Rendering)**: Streams large PDFs so the first page
   appears while the rest is still downloading.
 * **Google Doc Viewer Fallback**: An optional second rendering path for browsers
   that mishandle inline PDFs (recommended for Edge).

**In the dashboard**

 * **PDF Poster Dashboard**: One place for your documents, demos, help and changelog.
 * **PDF Chatbot Assistant**: Ask setup questions without leaving WordPress.
 * **Quick Embedder Defaults**: Set the default height, width, filename display 
   and download button once, and every new document starts there.
 * **Unlimited Documents**: No cap on how many PDFs you embed.

### PDF Poster Pro – Unlock Advanced Features

[**PDF Poster Pro**](https://bplugins.com/products/pdf-poster/pricing) adds the 
viewers, navigation, branding and document-protection controls that the free version
deliberately leaves out.

**Watermark & Branding — new in Pro**

 * **Text, Logo, or Both**: Stamp your wording, your logo, or a logo with a caption
   over every page.
 * **Six Ready-Made Themes**: Confidential, Draft Stamp, Sample Wash, Brand Corner,
   Logo Wash and Logo + Caption — each one carries its own angle, tiling and weight.
   A Custom theme is there when you want to set the angle yourself.
 * **Coverage, Strength, Size and Angle**: From a single corner mark to a dense 
   tile that cannot be cropped out, at five opacity steps and four sizes including
   fit-to-page.
 * **Dynamic Placeholders**: Drop `{site_name}`, `{post_title}`, `{file_name}`, `{
   page}`, `{pages}`, `{date}`, `{year}`, `{user_name}`, `{user_email}` or `{user_ip}`
   into the text and it resolves per page and per visitor.
 * **Choose Who Sees It**: Everyone, everyone except administrators (so you can 
   proof the clean original), or logged-out visitors only.
 * **Choose Which Pages**: All pages, the first page only, or everything except 
   the cover.
 * **Anti-Leak Options**: A per-visitor stamp that identifies whoever opened a leaked
   screenshot, plus tamper restore that puts the mark back if a visitor deletes 
   it with browser dev tools.
 * **Live Preview**: The block sidebar draws the mark with the same builder the 
   front end uses, so what you see is what publishes.

**More viewers**

 * **Adobe PDF Viewer**: Rendering by the Adobe PDF Embed API, with Adobe’s own 
   embed and view modes.
 * **Continuous Scroll Viewer**: Built for long reports — every page in one uninterrupted
   scroll.
 * **Reader Mode**: The document and nothing else. No toolbar, no frame, no distractions.

**Navigation controls**

 * **Thumbnail Sidebar**: Show the page thumbnails panel, and choose whether it 
   opens by default.
 * **Initial Page and Default Zoom**: Open on page 12 at 125% if that is where the
   reader should start.
 * **Horizontal Scrollbar**: Make horizontal scrolling the default for wide documents.

**Document protection**

 * **Disable Right-Click and Copying**: Block the context menu and copy shortcuts
   on your documents.
 * **Disable Text Selection**: Stop text being dragged out of the viewer.
 * **Suppress Blocked-Action Alerts**: Enforce protection quietly, without warning
   pop-ups.

**Popup viewer**

 * **Open PDFs in a Modal**: Keep the page clean and load the document on click.
 * **Button or Image Trigger**: Trigger from a styled button or from any image, 
   with your own alignment, image dimensions and an optional PDF icon overlay.

**Full button control**

 * **Rename the Download Button**: Your label, your language.
 * **Show or Hide the Full-Screen Button**, and optionally open full-screen in a
   new tab.
 * **Move the Action Bar**: Put Print, Download and Full-Screen above or below the
   viewer.

**Cloud and workflow**

 * **Google Drive Picker and Dropbox Import**: Pull a PDF straight from cloud storage
   instead of uploading it twice.
 * **Presets**: Save a viewer configuration once and apply it site-wide, including
   to classic shortcodes.
 * **Custom CSS and Custom Classes**: Global CSS plus a per-embed class, for full
   design control.
 * **Always Load the Latest Version**: Replace the file and every embed updates —
   no re-linking.
 * **Quick Embedder for the Classic Editor**: An embed tool and shortcode generator
   built into the classic editor.
 * **Priority One-on-One Support**: Straight to the developers.

**Coming soon in Pro**: in-viewer Ads and per-document Analytics — both already 
sketched in the interface, shipping in a later release.

The PDFPoster plugin works great and it’s also fully responsive. The customer support
is top notch. I had an issue I was struggling to explain over email, so they hopped
on a Google Meet with me. Tanin took the time to understand exactly what I needed
and solved it quickly. Really appreciate support that goes the extra mile like this!

The team at PDF Poster deserves this review. We’ve met with an issue where the PDF
viewer had appearance differences between Desktop and Mobile, and they’ve released
an update where dimensions can be specified for each within 7 days. It means they’ve
immediately listened and went to work on solving this for us. That’s world class
support in our books.

perfect for what I wanted. Very nice plugin!

   visitor deletes it with browser dev tools.
 * **New:** Added a Watermark & Branding section to the Gutenberg block sidebar 
   and the classic editor metabox, so the free build shows what the Pro watermarking
   tools cover.
 * **Update:** Rewrote the Free and Pro feature lists so each one matches what that
   version actually ships — FlipBook, Slider, the [pdf_embed] shortcode, the classic
   editor metabox, the second Gutenberg block and Google Doc Viewer were all listed
   as Pro despite being free.
 * **Update:** Documented every setting added since 2.5.2 (Viewer Theme, RTL Layout,

   flipbooks, social sharing) in the free feature list.
 * **Fixed:** Blocks saved with PDF Poster Pro no longer lose their watermark configuration
   when the post is edited on a free install.
 * **Note:** Watermarking is a deterrent, not DRM — an on-screen mark can be removed
   with browser dev tools, and no browser can prevent a screenshot. Marks in printouts
   and downloaded copies arrive in a following release.
