Simple PDF bar

Description

Adds a lead generation bar to the top or bottom of your pdf documents by creating a new post type suited for this purpose. Include text and buttons specific to each individual PDF-document in order to guide traffic from your PDF files.

To display PDF files in the browser, the user must of course have a PDF reader installed (e.g. Adobe Reader). Mobile users will load PDFs in their native PDF readers by default.

FAQ

Is there a fallback for users with no PDF reader installed?

Yes, such users will be provided with a direct download link to the PDF file.

Why do I get a ‘page not found’ error when trying to view PDF?

You probably need to update the permalink structure.
Go to Settings —> Permalinks and click the ‘Save changes’ button to update permalink structure.

Why is my PDF not loading?

It might be because you’ve tried to upload a file that’s too big. Check upload_max_filesize in your php.ini file.

In which browsers have the plugin been tested?

Tested in IE11, IE10, IE9, Firefox, Safari, Chrome (with Adobe Reader installed)

Can I overwrite the PDF Bar CSS if needed?

Yes, you can do this directly from your own theme’s css.
