Latest update break pdf embed
-
Thanks for the report. We have fixed the update to version 1.0.1. Please update the plugin.
It appears to still be broken. I get a blank screen where the document should be. I am running 1.0.1.

Can you please try deleting and reinstalling the plugin? If you can share your URL, we can help check the Javascript error
just i updated this plugin but this is not work. I am running 1.1.0.
Still broken. Have had to use an alternative plugin sorry.
1.0.1 update was working properly which I updated today but 1.1.0 is not working.
I deactivated, deleted and reinstalled before I posted the report. I did it again and v1.1.0 is giving the same results. Here’s a page that shows the blank gray area: https://members.sudokuprofessor.com/pdf-file-test/
Thank you so much for working on this and providing this solution!!
Thanks for sharing the URL. We can see that you are loading PDF file from remote location, which in this example is from AWS S3 endpoint. Due to latest version from Mozilla that checks file origin, cross-origin is prevented by default thus the reason you can’t see the PDF viewer. We are thinking of better way in next version. For now, you can revert back to version 0.1 if you do not have untrusted site authors. We will update this thread once a solution is available.
I have the same problems using the Safari browser – Version 15.2 (16612.3.6.1.8, 16612) running on MacOS BigSur (11.6.2). It won’t show the embedded PDFs. Here is what I see. The website is: https://engelwerk.at/st-petersberg/

I am having the same issue. 🙁

Somehow, after deleting the plugin and install again, and reverting to the 0.1 version, it keeps the new settings for the pages I tried to replace. I can see it in the options, the old ones have the option to download, the new ones not. How can I repair this?
update: refresh browser did the thing

Please be aware that downgrading below version 1.0 can leave your website prone to a Cross Site Scripting vulnerability.
