Easy PDF
Introduction
Linking to a bare PDF file sends visitors away from your page, and anyone can download it.
Easy PDF shows PDFs right in your articles, in a popup or inline, and lets you decide who can view, download or print them.
Insert a shortcode with the editor button, pick modal, embed or download mode, and set the access options.
What it does for your site
- Keep readers on the page: open PDFs in a modal viewer or embed them in the article.
- Inviting previews: the first page becomes the cover thumbnail automatically, or use your own image.
- The same viewer everywhere: a built-in viewer with page, zoom and fit controls across browsers.
- Control downloads and printing: hide the download and print controls per document.
- Members-only documents: public, login to view or register to view, plus Joomla access levels.
- Harder to bypass: signed file URLs stream PDFs from allowed folders instead of bare media paths.
- No attributes to memorize: an editor button builds the shortcode for you.

FAQ
- Can I stop visitors downloading a PDF? Yes. Hide the download button per document. This deters downloading but can't make a file impossible to save.
- Can I show PDFs only to logged-in users? Yes. Choose login to view or register to view, or use a Joomla access level.
- Do I need to remember the shortcode options? No. The editor button builds the shortcode for you.
