## Description

Embed PDF with Smallpdf makes it easy to add PDF documents to your WordPress posts
and pages. This plugin offers two convenient methods for embedding PDFs:

 1. **Gutenberg Block**:
 2.  * Add the block by clicking on the + button in the Gutenberg editor.
     * Search for “Embed PDF with Smallpdf”.
     * You can either upload a PDF from your media library or paste a PDF URL in the
       block details in the sidebar.
     * Adjust the height of the widget by specifying the size in pixels (px) from the
       sidebar.
 3. **Shortcode**:
 4.  * Use the shortcode `[pdf url='_ADD_PDF_URL_HERE_']` to embed a PDF.
     * Control the height of the widget by adding the `height` parameter to the shortcode,
       e.g., `[pdf url='' height='480']`. The height value, in px, must be integer.

This flexibility allows you to seamlessly integrate PDF files into your content,
ensuring they are easily accessible to your audience.

## FAQ

Yes, you can embed multiple PDFs on the same page using either the Gutenberg block
or the shortcode. Each block or shortcode will handle an individual PDF file.

### Can I adjust the dimensions of the embedded PDF viewer?

Yes, you can adjust the height of the embedded PDF viewer. In the Gutenberg block,
you can specify the height in the block’s sidebar settings. When using the shortcode,
add the height parameter with the desired value in pixels, e.g., `height='500'`.

### What types of PDF files can I embed?

file you upload is a valid PDF document.

### Can I use this plugin without an API key?

### Why does it say “Document unavaiable”?

The message `Document unavailable` typically means that the PDF is not reachable
or readable. To resolve this issue, please ensure that:

 * The URL points to a valid PDF file.
 * There are no typos in the URL.
 * Your internet connection is stable.

If the problem persists, verify that the PDF file is publicly accessible and not
restricted by permissions or behind a firewall.
