At least 8K of 162.7K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,773 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Your five tags are all earning their place. Each gets you onto page 1 of its own search, so none is worth giving up. “embed pdf”, “special characters” and “wordpress pdf” (#6, #12 and #13 untagged) would be the next worth testing if a slot frees up.

Took 3 hours to push it worked: if a file is not accessed it report it as corrupted 🙁 This topic was modified 2 years, 4 months ago by Alexander Guskov.

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 is quite simple but complete and effective. We are delighted by the functionality of Wonder PDF Embed plugin and we are using it to share all our documents.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ ArtistScope6.3y ago
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.
