PDF Embed Block Pro

PDF Embed Block Pro places document viewers alongside related content in WordPress posts and pages. For course materials, use it to show a reading file within a lesson; for business pages, place a report or presentation near its explanation. Add viewers with the Gutenberg block editor or a shortcode. PDF presentation uses the Adobe PDF Viewer API and is intended to provide a consistent viewing experience across modern browsers.

Match the viewer to the document

Viewer blocks support PDFs, Word and Excel documents, Google Docs, Google Slides, and more. Different viewer styles and modern layouts let you select how each supported file appears. The Pro edition includes the free version’s features, with additional document types, viewer blocks, layouts, and presentation controls.

Fit the viewer to the page

Set a responsive width to suit the surrounding content. Height control is available when Sized Container mode is selected. Padding and margin adjust the space around the viewer; border and shadow options define its edges against the page. The file name can appear automatically or be edited to give the embedded file a clearer label.

Choose the available toolbar controls

Show or conceal controls for Download PDF, Print PDF, and Fullscreen Mode. A site-wide settings profile can set default viewer settings, and each block can have its own settings in Gutenberg’s right-side sidebar.

Add a viewer in Gutenberg

1. Install the PDF Embed Block extension in WordPress.
2. Open a post or page in the Gutenberg editor.
3. Add the document viewer block from the Widgets block category.
4. Upload or select the document, then configure its settings in the right-side sidebar.
5. Adjust the viewer style, dimensions, spacing, borders, shadows, and toolbar controls as needed.
6. Publish or update the page to show the embedded document.

Shortcode embedding is also available. The viewers can present educational materials, business documents, reports, forms, presentations, and spreadsheets within a structured page.
