Display PDFs directly in WordPress
Algori PDF Viewer Premium is a Gutenberg block plugin for displaying PDF documents on WordPress pages and posts. It gives visitors an interactive viewer directly on your website, without requiring browser plugins such as Flash or Adobe Acrobat. The viewer is designed for modern browsers and works across Windows, iOS, Linux, and Android devices.
The Premium edition is intended for site owners who want more control over the PDF viewing experience. In addition to the viewer capabilities provided by Algori PDF Viewer, it lets you enable or disable PDF viewer settings and change the viewer theme color to better match the visual style of your website.
Useful tools for document viewing
Visitors can move between pages with next and previous navigation, zoom in and out, fit a page to the viewer, or restore the normal zoom level. Documents can also be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise, opened in presentation mode, and used with the hand tool or text selection tool.
Text search supports general searches and match-case searches, with text highlights to help visitors locate results. An expandable and collapsible document outline sidebar provides another way to navigate structured files, while keyboard shortcuts offer additional control. Visitors can print or download the displayed PDF when those options are available in the viewer.
Multiple PDF documents can be loaded on a single page. The block also supports left, right, wide, and full-width alignments, helping you place documents within different page layouts. PDF viewer text can be translated into more than 100 languages.
Practical WordPress use cases
Use the block for manuals, brochures, reports, guides, forms, course documents, or other PDF content that should be available within a page rather than presented only as a separate file link. The built-in controls allow visitors to inspect a document, search its text, print it, or download it according to the enabled viewer settings.
Theme color customization is useful when the default viewer appearance does not suit your site. The ability to manage individual viewer settings also helps you choose a more focused presentation for a particular page or document.
