Trying to embedd Document Cloud View SDK into Webflow

Webflow has a standard "embedd HTML code editor". I copied the code generated when clicking "generate code" within the Adobe Document Cloud SDK and pasted it into the webflow HTML code editor but nothing is presented. It's just blank when I publish my site.

    Take at look at the documentation here https://www.adobe.io/apis/documentcloud/dcsdk/docs.html

    To use a URL as the content location, the PDF will need to be at a publicly available URL. Instead, use some code inside a Promise to retrieve the file and pass it back to the content parameter as an ArrayBuffer.

    Take a look at this pen. It demonstrates loading a PDF from a different domain than what the clientID was provisioned for but it will give you the basics on how to pass your file to the View SDK without referencing the URL directly.

    Thanks, Joel

     

    I'm not a developer so this is too difficult for me to follow. Are there any other options for me to resolve this issue?

     

    Thanks

    How well do you know JavaScript? I could write a function that might make this easier for you. If you can copy/paste the code from the ViewSDK code generator, you can copy/paste what I write just as easily. Additionally, I do have a code sample that just looks for any direct links to a PDF and converts them to a View SDK link.

     

    Just let me know the most advanced kind of thing you can handle.

    Hi Adam, Thanks for using ViewSDK. Are you seeing any error in developer console of the browser? Also, if possible can you share your published site, this will help us in better understand and debug the issue?

    Thanks,

    Hi Shubhanshu,

     

    My site is www.uxthings.co but it is password protected. Is there another way (more private) for me to share the password?

     

    Thanks

    Adam

    Hi Adam, is it possible for you to have a public URL(could be temporary for debugging) that is using View SDK snippet? That would be a better option for both of us instead of sharing a password.
