    I love using this plugin so I don't have to convert the PDF to an image to put into a lesson. The plugin is just really slow when viewing PDFs.

    if we add pdf of more than 100 pages (of size > 30mb) then it is taking too much of time to load, can we have any option to improve the performance.

    The performance issues are just on the first view, after that it should be cached.
    I'll check big files.

    Performance is now much better (on version 0.99), cache is automatically created via adhoc task on module creation, module update and first view after cache purge.

    Thank you for creating an amazing plugin for Moodle, Yedidia. The only things colleagues would like is the "search" feature available on a PDF file.

    Thank you for this plugin. Is there a way to control the size of the window in which the pdf is displayed? It is quite large now for our screen and requires using a scroll bar.

    I have installed the plugin and upload a 36 MB file. Right now my host space is full. How I can delete the uploaded file?

    Thank you for writing this plugin! Is it possible to add a "stamp" to each page with the student's name and email address to discourage screenshotting and sharing with others?

    hey @Yedidia Klein your plugin require constant restart of the server, after file upload to work even though my imagick policy has been set to read, can you fix that?

    We have successfully installed this plugin but there were problems on the PDF some parts of the pdf is missing. What seems to be the problem? Thanks in advance.

    What are the limits for the PDF to be secured properly? I have to reduce the resolution to 30 for a full pdf to be printed, otherwise on a 150 resolution only few pages of it get secured and available to the students.

    Why does the plugin only display the first 20 pages of my documents? Is this a Moodle specific limitation in my system?
