2.0.0 – Document library, private PDF viewer and Post to PDF
Document Engine 2.0 turns WordPress into a document library, with a private built-in PDF viewer and Post to PDF.
Highlights
- Document Library block: table, grid and folder layouts, instant search, and multi-select filters with counts.
- Self-hosted PDF viewer (PDF.js): search inside PDFs, page thumbnails, outline and links, with no requests to Google.
- Document pages: every document gets its own page, a download counter, a preview popup, QR codes, and Document List, Search and Download blocks.
- Migrate: move from Document Library (Barn2), Download Monitor or WordPress Download Manager.
- Help and upgrades in the admin: built-in documentation (Documents → Docs) and a Free vs Pro page.
- Security: Post to PDF is limited to public content of enabled post types; files of non-public documents are always streamed, never linked directly.
Compatibility: existing shortcodes, settings and the PDF Viewer block keep working. Requires WordPress 6.6+ and PHP 7.4+.
