When users click the button, they get two options: importing from a local PDF file or from Aspose Cloud Storage. The user selects a file, clicks “Insert PDF to Editor” and the text is inserted into the editor from the selected PDF file. This plugin uses WordPress Media Uploader for uploading local files.
