- ImprovedImprovement of alert message while uploading custom video.
What it does
PDFs on websites often send visitors off to a new tab or force them to save the file before they can read it. Viewing a document in a browser can also mean awkward scrolling and zooming, especially on phones. This extension keeps the document on the current page by opening it in a popup window. You add the URL of your PDF, adjust how the popup looks and behaves, and the file appears in a clean viewer that visitors can close when they are done.
The extension works inside the Popup Builder framework, so it suits sites that already use that plugin for their popups. Beyond showing a full file, it lets you pick specific pages from a multi-page PDF, which is handy when only one section, offer or chapter matters. Zoom settings can be adjusted so documents read well on desktops, tablets and smartphones. Setup needs no coding, which makes it a practical choice for marketers, educators and business owners who share documents regularly.
Best for
- Sites already using Popup Builder for their popups
- Businesses sharing brochures, catalogs or product manuals
- Educators publishing guides and course documents

Questions about Popup Builder PDF
Do I need the main Popup Builder plugin to use this?
Yes. This is an extension that works within the Popup Builder framework. It adds a PDF popup type to that plugin, so the PDF display, appearance and behavior settings all sit alongside the rest of your Popup Builder popups.
Can I show only part of a long PDF?
Yes. You can choose specific pages from a multi-page document to display in the popup. This works well when you want visitors to focus on one section, such as a particular offer, chapter or set of instructions, instead of paging through the whole file.
Will the PDF be readable on phones?
The popups are responsive and adjust to desktops, tablets and smartphones. You can also customize the zoom level of the viewer, which helps documents display at a comfortable size and cuts down on manual scrolling and pinching to zoom.
Do visitors have to download the PDF to read it?
No. The document opens inside a popup on the current page, so visitors can read it right there without saving the file or leaving your site. You add the PDF by entering its URL in the popup settings.
