View state

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us here about this extension.

We would like to have a view state in WP file download that shows the pdf "live" when the page loads, not only a preview. Is this possible?

Yes, you can preview a PDF file in lightbox or a new browser tab. In this case, it's using Google previewer.
All pdf content can be viewed. Please go here for more information:

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
