Important Note on PDF Hosting & Usage

This add-on is primarily designed for embedding online/remote PDFs (public links from Google Drive, Dropbox, official sites, etc.) or admin-created content where quick inline viewing is useful.

For member-created PDFs (user-uploaded files), we strongly recommend using XenForo's built-in attachment system:

• Upload the PDF directly as an attachment.
• It avoids dependency on external hosting (no risk of link breaking or file deletion).
• Better privacy, security, and control.

Using external links for user content can lead to issues (e.g., broken links, privacy concerns, or site downtime), so native attachments remain the safest and most reliable method for everyday use.
