Use cases

Common uses

• Product guides: modal with auto thumbnail on a feature page
• Member documents: access="login" or access="register" with download="0"
• Brochure landings: large thumbsize openers in a row of offers
• Inline manuals: mode="embed" header="0" for a clean reading frame
• Attachment lists: mode="download" with file-size badges
• Print-sensitive PDFs: print="0" while still allowing view or download

Content planning tips

• Keep PDFs under allowed folders (images or media by default)
• Prefer Protect PDF files for gated shortcodes
• Publish Users login/register menu items before relying on access gates
• Use custom covers when page one is not a good marketing preview
