PDF Gallery Viewer

Kuvaus

PDF Gallery Viewer allows you to easily embed PDF galleries with live previews. It uses PDF.js to render the first page of each PDF directly in the browser, without relying on server-side libraries like Imagick. Each item includes a customizable title and a “View” button that opens the PDF in a modal viewer.

The layout is responsive and adapts from a multi-column grid to a single-column stack on smaller screens.

Key Features:

  • Live thumbnail of first PDF page (via PDF.js)
  • Responsive layouts (Grid, List, or Slider)
  • Modal viewer with zoom, navigation, and download
  • Gutenberg block with layout selector and drag-and-drop file integration
  • Tooltip + truncation for long titles
  • Dynamic shortcode generation by category, tag, or post

Usage

Basic usage:

[pdf_gallery url=”https://example.com/doc.pdf” title=”Document Title”]

Multiple items in a container:

[pdf_gallery_container layout=”grid”]
[pdf_gallery url=”…” title=”…”]
[pdf_gallery url=”…” title=”…”]
[/pdf_gallery_container]

Dynamic by category:

[pdf_gallery_container category=”brochures” layout=”slider”]

I’ve tried several PDF gallery plugins, but PDF Gallery Viewer stands out for its simplicity and modern design. The real-time thumbnail previews using PDF.js are fast and accurate, and the Gutenberg block integration is seamless. I especially love the layout options—grid, list, and slider—which make it super flexible for different use cases. No server-side dependencies, fully responsive, and easy to use.Highly recommended for anyone who wants a professional and efficient PDF gallery on their WordPress site!
