It’s great that it’s highly functional yet simple and easy to use.However, if I may be greedy, I would like to be able to set default values ​​for height, etc. in the plugin settings screen.Also, I would like to be able to check the media file names of blocks embedded within blocks. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/4acbd51fc4f39f3276cd50a94c2780cece056e11ef03fe669b848b10e32e5f16? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[The best PDF Viewer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-pdf-viewer/)󠁿 [Kerfred](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kerfred/) Kamena 24, 2021 Very easy to install and to use.

Will update to 5 stars when Edge is again supported properly. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/312477ad61ba697d40bbb9aa520fb0bdb3ce59f74f7b1c052fd98fc23c7e4f64? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Excelente Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/excelente-plugin-684/)󠁿 [claumigue](https://profiles.wordpress.org/claumigue/) Mata 17, 2020 El mejor visor de pdf con todas las opciones incorporadas, responsive , un bloque muy sencillo de usar que no defrauda. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7ad962340d0ace2346d11ff9db7d442b1754b388dbad3e4f3e6f0533920234a4? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[The best!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-1706/)󠁿 [leftezi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leftezi/) Werurwe 19, 2020 Excellent!
