   in the embedded documents
 * Your document has to be available online for the embed views to work. The **viewers
   do not support local host, intranet** and files hosted in any password protected
   environment
 * The **viewers can handle files of a limited size only** (Maximum 8MB for Google
   Docs Viewer and 10MB for Microsoft Office Online)
 * The **download and pop-out buttons cannot be removed** – Any feature that comes
   by default with the viewers cannot be removed or altered

Today’s update (version 2.7.9) broke every one of our Wordpress sites where it was
updated. Had to delete the plugin and upload a previous version. Rare for a plugin
update to torpedo the entire site anymore, so this is unacceptable. Otherwise the
plugin is useful for presenting PDFs on site pages, though often documents take 
too long to load.

### 󠀁[Really neat and works well with elementor](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/really-neat-and-works-well-with-elementor/)󠁿

 [conradish](https://profiles.wordpress.org/conradish/) 3 Giugno 2022 1 risposta

So I tried 2 other options for displaying docx etc this was by far the neatest particularly
because it doesn’t need to keep a separate list of docs and pdfs. Shortcode is entered
directly in the content panel. No need to ever copy and paste. If you are using 
elementor you will need to manually copy this shortcode and enter into a “shortcode”
widget on your elementor page. Or in my case copy it into a custom text field for
elementor to dynamically pick up. Works perfectly. Thanks

This plugin is an invaluable alternative to posting a downloadable PDF file. This
enables authors to display chapters of their books without providing a downloadable
file that might be copied and printed.
