AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Crocodoc is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by MikesNameIsMike — established developer track record
Cons
- −Limited review base (2) — ratings can shift significantly with new feedback

How Crocodoc works
Show full descriptionShow less
New and Improved version 2.0!!
This plug-in has not been functioning since Crocodoc updated it’s API. I finally got around to updating the API calls and it is now working as it should be.
-Display documents and images in your posts using the Crocodoc API.
*Embed .PDF, .DOC, .PPT, .PNG, and .JPG files into your posts.
*Supports standard pages and posts as well as custom post types.
The Crocodoc plugin will create a new input box on the edit/add post form of each desired post type. The new input box allows for the inclusion of a document that will be sent to Crocodoc for conversion when the post is published or updated. Through the use of ShortCode, you can embed the document into your post.
The Crocodoc Plugin was developed by Michael Doss of www.mediahive.com, which is in no way associated with www.crocodoc.com. This plugin is not officially supported by Crocodoc. Neither Crocodoc, or the developer will respond to inquiries or be updating the plugin on a regular basis.
Usage The Crocodoc Plugin requires a valid Crocodoc API key. A free key can be obtained from https://crocodoc.com/dashboard/. Crocodoc’s API is free for non-commercial use. For commercial applications, visit https://crocodoc.com/get-started/.
In the Crocodoc Setting page (‘Settings’ >> ‘Crocodoc’) enter the api key in the provided field, and select the post types you want Crocodoc to work with. Crocodoc can work with standard posts and pages as well as any defined custom post types. Next, select the actions you want the plugin to take when you remove an attachment from a post, or delete a post with a crocodoc attachment. Be sure to click the ‘Save Changes’ button.
When creating a post, use the Crocodoc uploader to select a file. Once a file is uploaded and selected, you will be given options to make the document downloadable and/or editable. When the post is published, the file will be uploaded to Crocodoc and associated with the given post.
In the content section of your post use the ShortCode [crocodoc] to display the attached document.
The document will be embedded at the default width and height of 500 x 700.
Control the size of the document with parameters ‘width’ and ‘height’ : [crocodoc width=”300″ height=”500″]
