Hi!

I am using the PDF embed API on a website and have noticed some odd behaviour on at least one of the pages were I am using it.

Whenever somone goes to the page, apparently the PDF content doesn't load. But if yo then refresh the page it not loads the content correctly.

Have I messed up something or am I missing something? Very open to suggestions here.

Ok, I _can_ see it. But I'm wondering if the other errors on the page are breaking things. Best I can suggest is to try to slim down the page and remove your other JS to see if that helps, and that may expose the conflict.

I'm not seeing it at all. I do see an error in the console:

Looking at view source, I see you include the library, but I can't tell where you use the embed.

I got it to work by copying and pasting the code into the console. I think the issue may be that you are listening for adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready and it may have already fired. I'd suggest this. Look at my blog post here, https://medium.com/adobetech/tips-and-tricks-for-working-with-adobe-pdf-embed-and-services-ce685594b00e, and scroll down to this section, Adobe PDF Embed and Setup, and I detail how to handle this issue.
