Highland Software Embed and Link Buttons for PDF Embedder enhances the functionality of the PDF Embedder plugin by giving editors control over how PDFs are inserted into content.
Instead of automatically embedding every PDF, this plugin adds simple TinyMCE buttons that allow users to choose:
- Embed the PDF using the PDF Embedder viewer
- Insert a direct link to the PDF file
This improves flexibility, usability, and content control—especially for editors working in custom themes or classic editor environments.

- Embed PDF
- Link PDF
- Uses the native WordPress media modal
- Displays the PDF title or filename as link text
- Fully compatible with the Classic Editor
- No modifications required to the original PDF Embedder plugin
- Lightweight and developer-friendly
Requirements
- WordPress 5.8 or higher
- PHP 7.4 or higher
- PDF Embedder plugin installed and active
