How can PHP be used to check if users have a specific plugin installed before accessing embedded PDF documents?

To check if users have a specific plugin installed before accessing embedded PDF documents, you can use PHP to detect the presence of the plugin by checking the user agent string or using JavaScript to detect the plugin in the browser. If the plugin is not detected, you can display a message prompting the user to install the necessary plugin before accessing the PDF documents. 

<?php
$plugin_name = 'Adobe Acrobat';
$user_agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

if (stripos($user_agent, $plugin_name) === false) {
    echo "Please install $plugin_name to view the PDF documents.";
    // You can also provide a link to download the plugin
} else {
    // Display or allow access to the embedded PDF documents
}
?>
