issuupress Plugin

Issuu.com is a great place to host your PDF magazines, but you’d rather keep your visitors on your site then send them over, right?

Issuupress fetches (via the Issuu API) a list of all your PDFs hosted on issuu.com and allows you to display that list on your blog via a simple shortcode.

You can optionally restrict the list by tag, and control the issuu viewer via shortcode attributes.

You will need credentials to access the issuu API: login to issuu and access http://issuu.com/services/api/ to find your own API key and key secret.

Please rate the plugin if you like it.
Thanks,
