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:
<ul>
<li>Live thumbnail of first PDF page (via PDF.js)</li>
<li>Responsive layouts (Grid, List, or Slider)</li>
<li>Modal viewer with zoom, navigation, and download</li>
<li>Gutenberg block with layout selector and drag-and-drop file integration</li>
<li>Tooltip + truncation for long titles</li>
<li>Dynamic shortcode generation by category, tag, or post</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
Basic usage:
[pdf_gallery url=”https://example.com/doc.pdf” title=”Document Title”]

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