Brilliant work of the support team
I just want to say a big THANK YOU to the development team of PDF Poster and personally to Gausul Azam for their kind assistance, proffessional support and brilliant work! The issue was resolved in no time and I was notified about possible delays and every important step of the process which was really helpful. It’s a real pleasure to work with such people!

Five stars for both the plugin and the people behind it
The PDFPoster plugin works great and it’s also fully responsive. The customer support is top notch. I had an issue I was struggling to explain over email, so they hopped on a Google Meet with me. Tanin took the time to understand exactly what I needed and solved it quickly. Really appreciate support that goes the extra mile like this!

World Class Support
The team at PDF Poster deserves this review. We've met with an issue where the PDF viewer had appearance differences between Desktop and Mobile, and they've released an update where dimensions can be specified for each within 7 days. It means they've immediately listened and went to work on solving this for us. That's world class support in our books.

The new PDF Poster Pro is outstanding!
I just updated the PDF Poster Pro plugin...WOW! What a great update! Version 2.5.2 has added many new features that have greatly enhanced the plugin's functionality, as well as fixed an issue for which I had requested assistance. The new Fullscreen button is super helpful! Polished! The developer's support is top-notch; attentive, understanding, responsive and productive! I highly recommend the PDF Poster Pro plugin for displaying PDFs on your website...

Easiest PDF plugin out there
This was the third PDF displayer I had tried. The others were too complicated to use and displayed too many options to the viewer on the front end. This one was perfect for what I wanted. Very nice plugin!
