<p>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.</p>
<p>The layout is responsive and adapts from a multi-column grid to a single-column stack on smaller screens.</p>
<p><strong>Key Features:</strong></p>
<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>
<li>Sorting UI (Title / Filename / Manual drag & drop)</li>
<li>Manual ordering with FIFO/LIFO behavior for newly added items</li>
</ul>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Basic usage:</p>
<p>[pdf_gallery url=”https://example.com/doc.pdf” title=”Document Title”]</p>
<p>Multiple items in a container:</p>
<p>[pdf_gallery_container layout=”grid”]<br />
[pdf_gallery url=”…” title=”…”]<br />
[pdf_gallery url=”…” title=”…”]<br />
[/pdf_gallery_container]</p>
<p>Sorting / ordering:</p>
<p>[pdf_gallery_container layout=”grid” order_by=”title” order=”asc” ui=”1″]<br />
…<br />
[/pdf_gallery_container]</p>
<p>Manual ordering (UI drag & drop) with FIFO/LIFO for newly added items:</p>
<p>[pdf_gallery_container id=”my-gallery” layout=”grid” order_by=”manual” manual_mode=”fifo” ui=”1″]<br />
…<br />
[/pdf_gallery_container]</p>
<p>IMPORTANT: Manual ordering is managed by admins and saved server-side (post meta) so the order is the same for all visitors.<br />
For reliable persistence, always set a stable id=”…” on each container (the Gutenberg block does this automatically).</p>
<p>Dynamic by category:</p>
<p>[pdf_gallery_container category=”brochures” layout=”slider”]</p>

Ocean Modal Window

This is really a nice addition as mostly themes either adds some simple popup functionality to theme itself or they won't have it. But this extension to OceanWP theme is really intuitive and allows to create popup / modal windows with any content easily and you may trigger it from anywhere really.

Awesome Anything Popup

Let's you create unobtrusive Modals from menu items or text links. Place any Widget inside them, even Elementor's Widget that let you display any library item you wish.

Creating Modals is like creating a Post or Page, with added options below the content input area. You can even set specific options for tablets or smartphones.

Can't believe this one is free and not part of the Pro Package.

Versatile, Lightweight and downright Awesome when combined with Elementor

Create the good kind of popups with ease and display anywhere on your website!
