If you are using a wysiwyg webpage builder and you want to style the pdf page view, insert a "placeholder item" that you can drag around, resize etc such as a img.jpg photo. When you have it where you want it, open the sourcecode and cut the source = img.jpg filename and put in your coding. This way you can take advantage of a visual builder to style your .pdf placement (or place a thumbnail image of the pdf and have a link open to a new page to display the .pdf full screen

Hi. I have tried with embed and and I can't get the pdf to be seen, instead it is downloaded.

[@jeromesimms]

Interesting! Now I will be able to embed PDFs in future projects, so thanks

[@dcode-software]

Awesome

[@marketingshannonjonesteam]

Unfortunately, it's not scrollable on mobile. Do you know how to embed a PDF so it's also scrollable on mobile? TY!

[@denisjean-bastien1253]

You have to implement the library pdf.js. It's a little bit more complicated but you will can add some features like zoom and search

[@celiamangham8444]

My students and I are having issues with using Visual Studio Code to embed PDFs. Is there a particular combinations of extension recommended so that they preview correctly? Also, once we put the code in, every time we try to type anything the computer opens a box to try to save the file. I've never encountered this error before. Any ideas?

[@chukwudaluayika8324]

Thank you so much for this solution. I have been using an external package to display a thumbnail of pdf files but this removes the need for that

[@dcode-software]

Yeah for sure. No problem

[@redstoneeli1494]

Great, I am just wondering if you are looking for ideas for future tuts, I'm going to start soon a lane booking system that could be adapted to a meeting room, tennis court or any area that needs to be booked. I have been all over KZbin and can't find anything. I would start with a Date input and then check the database for available slots on the date that the user selects and refine it down to the time booking and display a div filled green if available or red if booked, just an idea, it would be great to get ideas from you on how to approach the system. ps: thanks for the great tuts!
