 * Hi [@simbalion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simbalion/),
 * The “w is not a function” is due to a JS error from another source that is causing
   a cascading failure and conflicting with the PDF Embedder plugin. If you disable
   the PDF Embedder plugin, you will still see this error appear in the browser’s
   Developer Tools » Console tab. The error reported there should point in the direction
   of the script (located in the theme or another plugin) that is the source of 
   this error.
 * If you have any other questions or require additional assistance in debugging
   this issue, please feel free to send an email with a link to the page or post
   in question to [contact@wp-pdf.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/w-is-not-a-function/contact@wp-pdf.com?output_format=md)
   as we may not see messages posted here to respond in a timely fashion.
