Just a clean, fast, mobile-friendly viewer your visitors will love. Unlike the WordPress Media Library that buries PDFs alongside thousands of images and videos, PDF Rack gives you a **dedicated PDF dashboard** built for document management. Upload once, embed anywhere — in seconds. ### 🚀 Why site owners choose PDF Rack * **Save time** — Upload, categorize, and find any PDF in seconds with built-in search and filters. * **Better user experience** — Visitors read PDFs right on your page without leaving your site or installing anything. * **Works everywhere** — Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, or a simple shortcode. Pick whatever fits your workflow. * **Mobile-ready** — The viewer automatically adapts to any screen size so your content looks great on phones and tablets. ### 📋 Feature Highlights * **Dedicated PDF Dashboard** — A focused admin panel just for your PDF documents, separate from the Media Library clutter. * **Categories & Tags** — Organize documents with custom taxonomies for easy sorting and retrieval. * **Quick Search & Filter** — Find any document instantly by name, category, or upload date. * **Media Library Preview** — Preview PDF contents directly within the WordPress Media Library details view. * **Auto-Generate Covers** — Generate and set a cover image for your PDFs on demand. * **Responsive PDF Viewer** — Page navigation, zoom controls, and an optional download button — all in a sleek, lightweight viewer powered by Mozilla’s PDF.js. * **Gutenberg PDF Viewer Block** — Embed PDF viewer in Gutenberg editor. * **Elementor Widget** — A dedicated widget for Elementor page builder users. * **Shortcode Support** — Use `[pdf-rack id="123"]` in the Classic Editor or any text widget. * **Lightweight & Fast** — No bloat.

PDF Rack stores its data separately. Your existing Media Library files remain completely untouched. ### Can I use this with the Classic Editor? Absolutely. Every uploaded PDF gets a unique shortcode (e.g., `[pdf-rack id="10"]`) that you can paste into the Classic Editor or any text widget. ### Is the PDF viewer mobile-friendly? Yes. The viewer is fully responsive and adapts to any screen width — phones, tablets, and desktops. ### Will it slow down my site? No. The PDF viewer scripts load **only** on pages where you embed a PDF, so the rest of your site stays fast. ### Does it support large PDF files? The plugin will load any PDF your server allows. For very large files (50 MB+), performance depends on your hosting `upload_max_filesize` setting and your visitor’s connection speed. ### Do visitors need to install anything? No. The built-in viewer runs entirely in the browser — no plugins, extensions, or third-party apps required. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “PDF Rack – PDF Viewer, Document Manager & Embed PDF Files” is open source software.
