While it may be possible to use the PDF Embedder Free or PDF Embedder Premium version of the plugin on a paid account on a WordPress.com hosting site, it is problematic due to WordPress.com being a closed environment (i.e. you do not have access to security settings, .htaccess
, or other server tools). For this reason, it is not possible to use the PDF Embedded Secure version of the plugin on a WordPress.com hosted site reliably, at least definitely not the Pro version with its Secur PDFs functionality.
It is recommended that any of the plugin versions only be used on a self-hosted WordPress(.org) website being hosted by someone other than WordPress.com.
No version of the plugin can be installed on a basic (free) WordPress.com site. To understand the difference between WordPress.com and self-hosted WordPress sites, see here.
