What it does
Sharing documents on a website often means linking out to a file and hoping visitors find what they need. This plugin puts the file on the page instead. You upload a PDF report, a Word document, a spreadsheet or an image, and it appears as an embedded widget that visitors can view right there. If they would rather keep a copy, they can download it. That suits sites that publish certificates, guides, technical papers or product manuals.
The widget is built to fit your site's look. You can edit the header, change colors and adjust font sizes, and each file gets an icon that matches its format so people can tell a PDF from a spreadsheet at a glance. Files can be arranged in a grid or a list, depending on how many you have and how you want them organized. The display is responsive and retina ready, so it works on phones, tablets and desktop screens.
Best for
- Businesses publishing product manuals, guides or technical papers
- Bloggers sharing PDFs, spreadsheets or documents with readers
- Organizations displaying certificates or reports on their website
