Welcome to the documentation for PDF Embed & SEO Optimize. Below you will find details on how to use the shortcodes included with this plugin and how to integrate them into your theme or custom templates for the best user experience.
Purpose: This shortcode displays a simple HTML sitemap of all published PDF Viewer posts. You can insert it into any page or post to list all your PDF Viewer entries in an unordered list, sorted alphabetically.
Example Usage:
When placed on a page, this will produce a linked list of every PDF Viewer custom post, allowing visitors to easily view and access all of your PDF documents.
No PDF uploaded.
Purpose: This shortcode embeds a single PDF into your content. When used on a single PDF Viewer post, it automatically outputs the PDF for that post.
Basic Example: No PDF uploaded.
When you insert this shortcode on a PDF Viewer post, it will dynamically use the current post’s data to embed the PDF.
Embedding a Specific PDF: No PDF uploaded.
The shortcode supports specifying a particular PDF by providing its custom post ID as an attribute. For example:
No PDF uploaded.
in Custom Template FilesPurpose: Whether you’re using a page builder (like Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, etc.) or you’ve created a custom template file for your PDF Viewer custom post type, you can insert the shortcode so it automatically displays the PDF of the current post.
Option A: Using a Shortcode or HTML Module in Your Page Builder No PDF uploaded.
Most page builders offer a widget or module where you can insert custom shortcodes. Simply add a Text or Shortcode module and insert:
This will automatically output the embedded PDF on the PDF Viewer post.
Option B: Embedding the Shortcode in a Custom Template File
If you’re creating a custom template file (for example, in your theme or via a page builder’s custom code module), you can embed the shortcode using PHP. For example, in your custom template file for the PDF Viewer custom post type:
This PHP snippet dynamically outputs the embedded PDF for the current PDF Viewer post without the need for specifying an ID.
Both options allow you to integrate the shortcode seamlessly into your custom layouts.
