Question

Uploading Adobe DC View SDK html code to Weebly website doesn't work

Hi there,

 

When I cut and paste the html code from the Demo Site and embed this into my Weebly website, it doesn't work at all.

 

I have tried to embed the basic Bodeo Brochure sample html code you have on the Demo site (see below):

<div id="adobe-dc-view"></div> <script src="https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk/main.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){ var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>", divId: "adobe-dc-view"}); adobeDCView.previewFile({ content:{location: {url: "https://documentcloud.adobe.com/view-sdk-demo/PDFs/Bodea Brochure.pdf"}}, metaData:{fileName: "Bodea Brochure.pdf"} }, {}); }); </script>

 

This didn't work. I then included my Client ID in between the " " marks, and pointed to a Google Drive url pdf document, and changed the fileName in the html as instructed. This didn't work either. I thought pointing to Google Drive might be the problem. So I pointed the url to a basic uploaded pdf url. This didn't work as well. 

 

In all cases, when I embed the html code onto the Weebly website, it shows a 1 cm high white box, with an occasional blue rotating circle, that looks like its going into cardiac arrest, trying to upload the document, but never does. 

 

In searching on the web, I could also find virtually no help regarding this product, and no specfic clear and simple instructions on Adobe on how to use this product. A Youtube video demonstrating how to use this would have been a great help ... but again there was nothing.

 

If any Abode professionals have any suggestions or help I would really appreciate it. Many thanks ...

    Hi Maitreya, 

    Thanks for choosing Adobe View SDK, I’d love to help you out with this. That definitely shouldn’t be happening, I need a little more information to understand what’s going on. Could you please share a screenshot of the webpage(with console) or a hosted website (development) that would be amazing if possible?

    Once we’ve got that information from you, we can take a closer look.

    Thanks anyway ... The Bodea Brochure sample does now show up, but only
    after publishing. It still shows the 1cm high issue in Weebly before
    publishing. I still can't find a way for it to accept/point to my own url
    though. Also, I can see no option to change the html code to make the PDF
    document larger, meaning the text is hard to read. Thus I have decided to
    stay with Google Drive PDF embed, which is simple and works fine, and I can
    easily adjust the html iframe size.
