I was transitioning a regular site to WordPress and I had several hundred pdf files I needed to upload and display, organized in six different ways. Using basic WordPress, I could bulk upload, maybe even bulk differentiate (categories?). However, putting them on a page or pages, organized in groups/categories, seemed only possible if I manipulated the files manually, one by one…hundreds of them!
I needed a plugin and I found BSK PDF Pro. The key here is the Pro version allows FTP bulk uploads, that
bulk assign my categories
. Then the plugin has real slick, easy to understand and use, short codes that display the files in any way I could think of.The plugin’s outstanding functionality is only part of this. I could not figure out how to bulk assign categories to my files. I emailed support, not optimistic I’d hear back quickly. However, BSK support responded almost immediately! They stayed engaged with back and forth emails until they led me to the function I needed. They actually seemed to enjoy helping.
So, great plugin and super support. Can’t ask for more.
The plugin does everything you’d want to with pdfs and recent upgrades mean it will also organise and display a host of other file formats. The shortcodes are easy to get your head around and the column display is spot on. Love the way you can upload big files through FTP or cPanel then import in – this has saved HUGE amounts of time and hassle with our large collection of newsletters and policy documents.
Support shouldn’t be needed but when it was Bannersky were prompt, efficient, understanding and patient. More importantly, they fixed the issue with speed.
Best money I’ve spent on a plugin, and will keep renewing.
This is an excellent way to organize PDFs – I use the pro version and it’s pretty customizable. The only thing I’d suggest is adding the ability to rename the PDFs when uploading via FTP.
It will be super easy for site admins to update and add PDFs also
Ein hervorragender Service von Bannersky. Excelent! Ohne die Hilfe wäre ich nie weitergekommen. Einfach nur klasse.
Vielen, vielen Dank ans Team.
I have a client who maintains a large repository of free PDFs for teachers to download. I needed a way to list them and Categorize them, AND display them in columns so it’s not an overwhelming long list. All this works great with the BSK PDF plugin.
During the recent WP 5.0 update, something went a little haywire with other portions of their site, and in the troubleshooting, I manually re-uploaded the BSK. Something wasn’t right (the shortcode wasn’t working) but the support team quickly answered my emails, logged in with a temp user, and fixed it up. It turned out to be just a corrupted copy, or an in-between version or something, but all in all, very pleased with their responsiveness.
We are a development house. We needed a simple solution for brochure management which is easy for the customer to control. 2 of us were searching and searching for a solution and could not find anything. We found this plugin and once installed immediately knew it was going to work.
The addon itself is really easy to use and is not complicated to navigate at all. The price is also a massive bonus. 25 dollars for a multi site licence is great value, especially compared to other addons which were hundreds for 5 sites.
Would be very happy to recommend this to anybody!
The folks at BannerSky are responsive, knowledgeable, and friendly in an internet full of the opposite. I confidently use their products knowing BannerSky stands behind them with the same confidence.
Assignment: show PDFs of a certain category on a department page – but in a way that clients with department page access could not mangle. I combined BSK PDF Manager with a Pods related field, and just like that, problem solved. Wrote with a question (how to open PDFs in a new window) and got an answer within a half hour (add “target=”_blank” to the shortcode). Nice plugin and support!
A big thankyou to the support team at BannerSky. We have been using your product for many years and today, the same day I am writing this thank you, we encountered a theme plugin conflict that was resolved within 40 minutes of sending you the request.
For the perfect PDF management tool coupled with blindingly efficient service I recommend BannerSky unreservedly.
I was looking for a plugin where I can easily post PDF files on my website.
I found BSK PDF Manager and decided to test it. After few tests I decided to buy it and it works just perfect. It’s very easy to handle.
I wanted to have a different style of a title and got a message back within few minutes. The support is just perfect.
