In this case, connect it yourself or use the web assets WT PDF.js plugin. Specify the path to the file in the shortcode `{ PDF}path/to/file.pdf{/PDF}`. You can specify the `tmpl` parameter in the shortcode to display the PDF with the selected layout. For example, `{ PDF tmpl=html5object}path/to/file.pdf{/PDF}` . If the `tmpl` parameter is omitted or specified, the PDF file will be displayed using the layout specified by default in the plugin settings. The plugin provides 4 layouts: - **default** - the pdf file is embedded into the entire page using the PDF.js library.**Requires the WT web asset plugin installed PDF.js .** - **bootstrap-modal** - viewing the file in the Bootstrap 5 pop-up window. A button is displayed that opens the modal window. The progress of viewing the current file is also displayed at the bottom of the window. **Requires the WT web asset plugin installed PDF.js .** - **html5object** - displays the contents of a file using the HTML5 tag. This layout does not require the installation of any additional plug-ins and displays the contents of a pdf file in Joomla using a standard browser window. - **uikit-modal** - similar to the Bootstrap layout, but using UIKit. You can also create your own output layouts in the `plugins/content/wtviewpdf/tmpl` folder of the Joomla plugin. **Minimum Joomla version - 5.x.** ### Demo **Bootstrap-modal** layout**.** **html5object** layout**.** ## Joomla **Extension type:** Plugin **Folder:** Content **Joomla version:** 5.0.0 ## Gallery ![...](https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/images/swjprojects/projects/100/en-GB/gallery/6fdrMVDHaA0.webp) ## What's new 2025-04-21 21:18:28 Addition ### Initial version First extension version --- ## Related extensions [!\[WT Digitally signed PDF\](https://web-tolk.ru/images/swjprojects/projects/44/en-GB/icon.jpg) WT Digitally signed PDF](https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/wt-digitally-signed-pdf) [!\[WT PDF.js\](https://web-tolk.ru/images/swjprojects/projects/98/en-GB/icon.webp) WT PDF.js](https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/wt-pdf-js) ## JSON-LD Schema ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/BreadcrumbList/17", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "item": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/en", "name": "Home" } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev", "name": "Joomla extensions" } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "item": { "@id": "/en/dev/joomla-plugins", "name": "Joomla plugins" } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "item": { "name": "WT View PDF" } } ] } ``` ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Organization", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/Organization/base", "name": "WebTolk", "url": "https://web-tolk.ru/", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/ImageObject/logo", "url": "images/webtolk-1080p.jpg", "contentUrl": "images/webtolk-1080p.jpg", "width": 1920, "height": 1080 }, "image": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/ImageObject/logo" }, "sameAs": [ "https://github.com/WebTolk", "https://github.com/sergeytolkachyov", "https://vk.com/web_tolk", "https://vk.com/webtolkru", "https://tenchat.ru/sergeytolkachyov", "https://t.me/sergeytolkachyov", "https://t.me/webtolkru" ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/WebSite/base", "url": "https://web-tolk.ru/", "name": "WebTolk websites development, Joomla Extensions", "publisher": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/Organization/base" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/WebPage/base", "url": "https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/wt-view-pdf-joomla-plugin", "name": "WT View PDF is a PDF viewer plugin for Joomla - WebTolk websites development, Joomla Extensions", "description": "The content plugin allows you to display the contents of PDF files using the HTML5 object tag or the javascript library PDF.js .", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/WebSite/base" }, "about": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/SoftwareApplication/base" }, "inLanguage": "en-GB", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://web-tolk.ru/#/schema/BreadcrumbList/17" } }, { "@type": "SoftwareApplication", "name": "WT View PDF", "url": "https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/wt-view-pdf-joomla-plugin", "description": "The content plugin allows you to display the contents of PDF files using the HTML5 object tag or the javascript library PDF.js .", "applicationCategory": "Joomla plugins", "softwareVersion": "1.0.0", "downloadUrl": "https://web-tolk.ru/en/get?element=plg_content_wtviewpdf", "operatingSystem": "ANY", "interactionStatistic": [ { "@type": "InteractionCounter", "interactionType": "https://schema.org/DownloadAction", "userInteractionCount": 1722 }, { "@type": "InteractionCounter", "interactionType": "https://schema.org/ViewAction", "userInteractionCount": 2586 } ], "mainEntityOfPage": { "@type": "WebPage", "url": "https://web-tolk.ru/en/dev/joomla-plugins/wt-view-pdf-joomla-plugin" }, "softwareRequirements": "Joomla", "applicationSubCategory": "Joomla plugins, Joomla 4 - Joomla 6extensions", "isAccessibleForFree": true } ] } ```
