 * Hi!
 * I am testing this plugin, however the server throws its standard error-message
   at me:
 * > Forbidden: You do not have permission to access the requested file on this 
   > server.
 * There is no difference whether I put the PDF inside the “wp-content/uploads” 
   of my WordPress instance or I put it in another folder of the server.
 * I am able to access and view the file via direct link.
 * Is there a way to resolve this?
 * Thanks for any advice!

 * Thanks for the link.
 * Well, this one is working. However the viewer displaying a link to the product
   page is not what I would call “perfect”.
