No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    The Lite version has all the features I needed and is simple to use; to display PDFs in my posts.

    It’s getting harder and harder to find a free pdf viewer plugin with simple download capabilities, but this one has it. Easy to use and effective. One thing I would like to see added is the ability to specify the alignment of the pdf viewer in the post.

    Great little plugin. It display the PDF greatly with the block editor and has lots of useful features.

    Free version you can set height and width from the block controls, and that’s it! Can’t even tell it to use 100% width, have to specify in pixels. Understand it has lots of controls for the user, but I need controls on how it displays, like initial zoom settings and definitely 100% width settings. Disappointed.

    I installed this alongside the free version of PDF Embedder. The alorgi PDF viewer is slower to load but provides all the functions you need – scroll, resize, print, download etc which are free.
