Insert PDFs



User: Roddy 9 years ago
One of the questions I get asked a lot is how to insert multi page PDFs in EverWeb so that they can be scrolled in both desktop and mobile browsers.

The simplest - and best - way is to let the browser do the work and to insert a link to the PDF to open it in a new browser window.

Any PDF file should also have the option to download it so that visitors can read it at their leisure. This requires a link to a PC compatible ZIP.

The Icon widget pack includes widget for doing just that. It can include a text description, a "view" link and/or a "download" link and uses Font Awesome icons. See THIS page for the demo and how to create a ZIP file which won't confuse those using machines running the Microsoft OS.

iFrame should work too!
Use this code in HTML Snippet.
<iframe height=600 width=600 src="PATH"></iframe>

PATH is the relative file path. Go to Assets, control+click your PDF file and select “Copy relative path”.
Here is how it looks: https://snag.gy/TcGth0.jpg

height and width can be configured
