But I was disappointed when I tried to use it on a bookshop website. Because there is no option to scroll the PDF preview and change pages. The button is given on top. Which has a bad effect on the interaction of smartphone and PC users. This is not a good method. I want this plugin to fix this by bringing an update. So that the PDF can be scrolled up, down or to the side. As is possible when reading PDF on mobile ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ef0156b140616d96b16c512744699ac3623e216f6c65aa9dbf506d56e4634411? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Enhance Your Online Bookstore with Book Preview for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/enhance-your-online-bookstore-with-book-preview-for-woocommerce/)󠁿 [imgaf](https://profiles.wordpress.org/imgaf/) 19 February 2023 Love it!
