    This is just a note to offer some praise for PDF Embedder, via a conversation I had on a related question:

    And for what it’s worth, after some testing, on balance PDF Embedder indeed is better than using Scribd.

    I say “on balance” because on the one hand the PDF Embedder page size ends up quite a bit larger, I think because of the size of PDF Embedder’s .js file (but there may be a quirk in how the page-size testing tool I use measures files that load asynchronously), but on the other hand PDF Embedder doesn’t need to make a single external request. Compare that to Scribd, which in my tests resulted in 80 more requests for data, including 30 external scripts.

    Andrew,

    Thanks for this comment – it’s really good to hear. This is exactly why the PDF Embedder plugin is useful, as it doesn’t rely on third party services at all.

    Regards,

    Dan
