How to Create?

This feature depends on Auto Convert PDF Links on page to Viewers. It is available under Global Settings -> Advanced -> Posts/Shortcode. Set it to true and PDF links will also be converted to the default Viewer set in Global Settings.

Note:

  1. This feature doesn’t require shortcode.
  2. Depends on the link of PDF file and the link has to end with .pdf
  3. If the link is set to Open in New tab or download, Viewer will not be created.
