Welcome to this tutorial on how to view a PDF in Webflow!
Webflow is a powerful web design tool that allows you to create stunning websites with ease. While it supports various file formats, viewing PDF files directly within your Webflow website can be a bit tricky. In this article, we will explore different methods to achieve this.

Note:
If your PDF file is not located in the same directory as your HTML file, make sure to provide the correct path in the `src` attribute of the `embed` tag.
Method 2: Using Google Drive
If you prefer hosting your PDF files on Google Drive, here’s how you can display them in Webflow:
- Step 1: Upload your PDF file to Google Drive.
- Step 2: Right-click on the PDF file and select “Get shareable link”.
