Ready to unlock the full power of PDF Embedder? The free version gives you a solid foundation, but the Premium version adds features like secure PDF storage, dynamic watermarks, and download tracking that take your document experience to the next level.
This guide walks you through purchasing and installing PDF Embedder Premium on your WordPress site.
Before you get started, make sure the Lite version of the PDF Embedder plugin is already installed and activated on your site. The Premium version extends the free plugin and requires it to be present.
Purchasing the PDF Embedder Premium
The first step is to visit our pricing page to choose the plan that fits your needs. After completing your purchase, you will receive a confirmation email containing a link to download the PDF Embedder Premium plugin ZIP file.
You can also download this file from your Account page at any time.
With the Premium plugin file downloaded, please install the plugin on your site and verify the license to get started. You can also find more details in our getting started section.
Secure Existing PDFs After Upgrade
If you purchased a Pro or Elite license and plan to use the Secure PDFs feature to secure pre-existing files, there are a few extra steps.
Adding the Files to the SecurePDFs Folder
Any PDFs you previously uploaded will need to be re-uploaded so they are placed in the new /wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/ folder. Alternatively, you can use FTP or your web host’s File Manager to move the files in bulk to the /securepdfs/ folder.
Additional steps to register the media files in the database after using FTP must be completed before the PDFs will appear in the Media library (tutorial article).
Updating PDF Embedder Shortcodes and Blocks
Once all URLs are updated, if you have used PDF Embedder shortcodes or blocks, these will also need to be updated with the new file URLs(as the URL now has the /securepdfs/ part).
