@nicfab Thanks for raising the issue. Could you please share a link to your page?

@jmooring I saw the discourse discussion and have replied there.

I will try and spend some time on this shortcode this month to get it fixed and updated.

With the solution proposed by @jmooring the Shortcode works fine.
Indeed, now the plugin works properly.
Sometimes I need to publish PDF in “secure mode” (I mean that people don’t have to can downloading the PDF); other times, I need to publish PDF allowing people to download.
Currently, I seem that it isn’t possible to download the PDF; am I wrong?

At the moment there is no support for downloading the PDF file.
Since hugo-embed-pdf is based on the pdf.js library, which supports pdf downloading, it should be possible to add the support.
Could you please raise a separate issue for this as a feature request?
I will try to see if I can add this feature in the next release.

Thank you for your reply.
You can see as I use your code here: https://www.nicfab.it/en/en/posts/eprivacy-regulation-the-current-perspective/
The map you see (the first resource after the image) is a PDF embedded using your code.

At the end of this page https://www.nicfab.it/en/en/posts/the-meaning-of-scientific-research-privacy-and-personal-data-protection-international-contexts/

I tried to add two shortcodes at the end of the file, but I am afraid it doesn't work, although I changed a row in your code as it follows:

• in the beginning, I changed the first line as suggested by @jmooring with <script src= '/js/pdf-js/build/pdf.js'></script>
• I changed window.addEventListener("load",function(){ instead of window.onload = function(event) { adding the round bracket at the end of the file just before the last line </script>

At the moment, it seems that doesn't work, but I hope you can help me.

Thank you @RoneoOrg
I am pretty busy now.
I will take note and return it in the following days to verify it.

@nicfab Would love to know if you were able to use the shortcode?
@RoneoOrg's changes have been merged and some more modifications made.
You can take a look at the example site here

Let me know if you still need help with this.
