I have embedded a PDF file straight from Google Drive, which is not showing up on my website (it shows up as frames, as attached below). Is there a way to fix this issue?

Thank you

@default7vexsir4wy38,

For future reference, it's best to create a link to the external PDF file so people can download & open it in their favorite PDF viewer -- Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Pro, etc...

You may create an ordinary text link or use Portolio's button module.

Portfolio's Embed Module places external content into an <iframe> which sometimes creates usability issues. My preference is to avoid embedded content if possible. It's not a very good user experience, particularly on mobile devices.

Hope that helps.
