Hi nicolateodori,
The PDF Embedder does currently work with the Gutenberg editor provided that you use the correct content block that supports shortcodes. We did conduct some tests and the PDF Embedder does work correctly when you add the shortcode manually using the Custom HTML Block or the Shortcode Widget within the Gutenberg editor. As with many “drag and drop” editors, it handles the Media Gallery differently than the default editor and only displays images so you will need to keep the Media Gallery open in an additional browser tab to copy the file path to manually paste into the shortcode [pdf-embedder url=”path-to-pdf”]. There are no immediate plans to make changes to our plugin as the Gutenberg editor itself is still undergoing development.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected] as we do not monitor these forums and may otherwise miss your inquiries.

Thank you for your kind reply.
I had thought about the embedding of the code by copy-paste.
I worry about who needs to publish and does not have much experience.
I will await the developments of both.
Hi nicolateodori,
That is a concern for us also and with the recent push to users to try the Gutenberg plugin, we have been in discussions internally to look at what we can do to make this easier for our users. No ETA when we will have something available as I am sure you can understand that it’s still a bit of a moving target as Gutenberg itself is still in development.
