 * Hi [@neee](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neee/),
 * Yes the plugin is compatible with Elementor. When using a module based layout
   builder such as Elementor, WPBakery, Divi, etc. you need to use a Text, HTML,
   Raw Code, or Shortcode module to insert the PDF successfully. Most of these drag
   and drop editors use their own proprietary method to access the Media Gallery
   with breaks the automatic shortcode insertion by the PDF Embedder plugin. You
   will need to add this manually to your content. I would suggest keeping your 
   Media Gallery open in another browser tab for convenience.
    1. With the layout editor, use a module that supports plain text, raw HTML, or 
       code,
    2. Manually enter `[pdf-embedder url=" "]`,
    3. From your Media Gallery tab, select the PDF you want to embed and copy the File
       URL (triple click to highlight, Ctrl+V / right-click copy),
    4. Paste the URL into the shortcode,
    5. Publish the page / post.
 * This method will add the required shortcode to embed the PDF so that the PDF 
   will be displayed in the viewer on the front end of your site.

 * It would be cool though if you could add a block to Elementor since it’s the 
   most used page builder of all. Because explaining that to my clients, isnt gonna
   work haha
