Highland Software Embed and Link Buttons for PDF Embedder enhances the functionality of the PDF Embedder plugin by giving editors control over how PDFs are inserted into content.
Instead of automatically embedding every PDF, this plugin adds simple TinyMCE buttons that allow users to choose:
<ul>
<li>Embed the PDF using the PDF Embedder viewer</li>
