When it comes to file management, the standard WordPress admin system doesn't always meet the needs of businesses and their users. For example, you can add PDFs to the Media Library but there's no way to create a searchable PDF database on the front end.

With the Document Library Pro plugin however, you can automatically generate a comprehensive database of downloadable files for your users. The plugin lists documents for staff, service users or customers. Giving users the option to read the file immediately online, or download it for later.
