    So, I love this PDF embedder. But, here is my challenge. I have numerous domains that I would like to include some data in them, instead of just having them parked. I am looking for suggestions as to the EASIEST, FASTEST way to turn a PDF file into a webpage?

    My goal is to create a wordpress webpage that when typing the domain it opens a PDF file as the webpage – not a redirect to another site which is easy i understand. In other words, when you type https://www.exampledomain.com it opens to a webpage which is just the PDF contents.

    Perhaps you can recommend a super-simple Theme that would best accomplish uploading a PDF file and it being the total content of the site.

    Thank you in advance for your brilliance!!!

    Thank you for getting in touch and explaining your situation!

    To be honest, WordPress is overkill if you don’t really want a web page… I certainly don’t know any Themes that have no real header areas at all etc.

    Personally I would just remove the WordPress install and just put two files in the root web folder of your web server:

    1. The PDF (e.g mypdf.pdf)

    2. index.html containing:

    <html>
    <head>
    <title>This is my PDF</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <object data=”mypdf.pdf” type=”application/pdf” width=”100%” height=”100%”>
    <p>This browser does not support PDFs. Please download the PDF to view it: Download PDF.</p>
    </object>
    </body>
    </html>

    If you don’t know how to write HTML files etc, this is a chance to learn! I hope this helps – please let me know.

    Regards,

    Dan
