    Hello everyone,

    I need to allow hundreds of PDF files that have been uploaded to an existing WP site to be indexed and searchable. How best to do this.

    1 Want something that will be around and not break easily when my ISP updates the WP installation without asking me.

    2 want something that has been around a while.

    3 want it from a company/developer that is responsive.

  • Hi @coastodian,

    I am sorry to disappoint you but the viewer does not support selectable or searchable text within the embedded PDF document. This is something that we are looking at adding to the plugin in a future update; I will add your comments to our feature request list to record your interest in this improvement to the plugin.

    I do want to mention that while the contents of the document are not searchable when viewed by a user, the contents are available to search engines for indexing and SEO purposes. The documents can also be searched for on your site just like any other media items, page, or post using the WP search functionality.

    If you have any other questions, please feel free to send an email to [email protected] as we may not see messages posted here to respond in a timely fashion.
