## Description

Adds a lead generation bar to the top or bottom of your pdf documents by creating
a new post type suited for this purpose. Include text and buttons specific to each
individual PDF-document in order to guide traffic from your PDF files.

To display PDF files in the browser, the user must of course have a PDF reader installed(
e.g. Adobe Reader). Mobile users will load PDFs in their native PDF readers by default.

This plugin is sponsored by [Adapt A/S](http://adapt.dk/)

## Installation

 1. Upload `simple-pdf-bar`-folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Upload PDFs and configure the bar by clicking the `Simple PDF bar` link in the 
    admin menu

## FAQ

  Is there a fallback for users with no PDF reader installed?

Yes, such users will be provided with a direct download link to the PDF file.

  Why do I get a ‘page not found’ error when trying to view PDF?

You probably need to update the permalink structure.
 Go to Settings —> Permalinks
and click the ‘Save changes’ button to update permalink structure.

  Why is my PDF not loading?

It might be because you’ve tried to upload a file that’s too big. Check upload_max_filesize
in your php.ini file.

  In which browsers have the plugin been tested?

Tested in IE11, IE10, IE9, Firefox, Safari, Chrome (with Adobe Reader installed)

  Can I overwrite the PDF Bar CSS if needed?

Yes, you can do this directly from your own theme’s css.
