Wonder PDF Embed

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 50% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   I needed a PDF viewer to work in a modal popup called with Ajax and this does the job! No JS errors like I had with EmbedPress, easy to use & fine with Ajax / Popup. Thank you very much!

   This plugin will be ideal for protecting vanilla (raw) PDF embedded on web pages that use a copy protection solution like the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS). ASPS provides the most secure copy protection for all media displayed on web pages… except for PDF, because while PDF is unencrypted and normally opens using Adobe Reader resources, the embedded reader will always provide save, print and copy options in its toolbar. But with this plugin, those toolbar options can be removed, thus making it possible to copy protect PDF on ASPS web pages.
