Works!
Took 3 hours to push it worked: if a file is not accessed it report it as corrupted :(

Works with Ajax and popup!
I needed a PDF viewer to work in a modal popup called with Ajax and this does the job! No JS errors like I had with EmbedPress, easy to use & fine with Ajax / Popup. Thank you very much!

Ideal for protecting vanilla PDF in a copy protected website
This plugin will be ideal for protecting vanilla (raw) PDF embedded on web pages that use a copy protection solution like the ArtistScope Site Protection System (ASPS). ASPS provides the most secure copy protection for all media displayed on web pages... except for PDF, because while PDF is unencrypted and normally opens using Adobe Reader resources, the embedded reader will always provide save, print and copy options in its toolbar. But with this plugin, those toolbar options can be removed, thus making it possible to copy protect PDF on ASPS web pages.

Excellent replacement of gview
But missing some parameters as adjusting height to a page size.
