How to Use

You can use the following shortcode to embed a PDF file to WordPress posts or pages:

[wonderplugin_pdf src=”http://www.yourwordpresssite.com/yourdoc.pdf” width=”100%” height=”600px” style=”border:0;”]

PDF URL Requirements

• The PDF file MUST be hosted on the SAME DOMAIN as the WordPress website.
• The PDF URL MUST be an absolute URL, that’s, the URL must start with http:// or https://.
• Make sure there are no special characters in the PDF URL, for example, apostrophes, double quotes, accented letters etc.
• The PDF URL is defined with the src attribute.

Shortcode Attributes

• You can use px or % for the width and height attributes, for example, 600px or 100%.
• By using % for the width attribute, the PDF viewer will be responsive.
• If you use 100% for the height attribute, make sure the container of the shortcode has a proper height value.
• You can use the style attribute to define the CSS style of the PDF viewer which is an iframe.
