PDF Viewer for WordPress is the best PDF Reader plugin for WordPress. With this plugin, you can display and embed PDF Files of your WordPress Website very easily with a feature rich and nice PDF Reader.
PDF ViewerJS must be the easiest way to use presentations, spreadsheets, PDF's and other documents on your website or blog without any external dependencies. No tricks, no conversions, no unexpected downtime from external services, and no plugins required. It happens to work just fine in all major browsers today from the comfort of your own webserver. Download and unpack on your webserver and add one small text snippet to your webpages.
That is it: PDF ViewerJS does the rest.
Do you need to show documents on your site, company blog, intranet or in a web app? And you want something robust that will still work in five years, can work offline, doesn't depend on any third party services or might be (perceived as) invasive to the privacy of your users? If you are considering using hosted online tools like Crocodoc, Docstock, Zoho, Google Apps, or Microsoft Office 365 (all trademarks, no doubt), check out PDF ViewerJS, it probably fits your needs better. (If not, let us know, if it does, let us know too.) You can even give presentations directly from the browser, so it provides a great backup for uncomfortable swapping of USB sticks with slides when giving a talk.
PDF ViewerJS can already natively show both PDF files and many types of Office files stored in OpenDocument Format, the open standard for office documents. ODF is available by default in almost any modern office applications such as Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice and Calligra Suite. Because it is built on modern web technologies, PDF ViewerJS understands embedded fonts, so your documents look pretty everywhere.
PDF ViewerJS is a best document viewer that enables embedded display of ODF or PDF files directly in webpages, without any external server dependencies, just done with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It uses WebODF to display files in the OpenDocument format and PDF.js for files in the PDF format. This is a combination of WebODF and PDF.js functions.
Deploying and using PDF ViewerJS with your webpages can be done in a few minutes, it's very easy.
WebODF is a great JavaScript library to add Open Document Format (ODF) support to your website and to your mobile or desktop applications. It uses HTML and CSS to display ODF documents.
PDF ViewerJS WordPress Plugin supports ODF (Open Document, using WebODF) and PDF document formats.
