Privacy Policy

Pdf Embed uses Appsero SDK to collect some telemetry data upon user’s confirmation. This helps us to troubleshoot problems faster & make product improvements.

Appsero SDK does not gather any data by default. The SDK only starts gathering basic telemetry data when a user allows it via the admin notice. We collect the data to ensure a great user experience for all our users.

Integrating Appsero SDK DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY start gathering data, without confirmation from users in any case.

Learn more about how Appsero collects and uses this data.

This plugin allows you to display PDF files beautifully in Wordpress. In particular, the beauty of the PDF file can be maintained when zooming in and out, especially in the Safari browser. In addition, the inline display, the download restriction function and the print restriction function are very good features that cannot be reproduced by other plug-ins. To use it, you need Adobe API key, but you can get it for free by following the instructions.
