Hello, 

trying to use the SDK embed feature to embed a pdf into my Adobe Portfolio website. however I keep seeing that the embed code is not valid, whether it is my own or the sample one provided.

Did you ever get a good answer? I'm experiencing the same thing, I've contacted support a few times and am still unable to get this to work. Someone from Adobe support just suggested I subscribe to a Scribd account, which is maddening. I think the issue is that Portfolio needs an iframe, where the sized container code from Document Services starts with "div id" so I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to get the embed code into an iframe. I am not a coder so really struggling here.

Embed APIs should work even within an iframe. I am not sure what's portfolio though. If you are referring to Adobe PDF portfolio, please note that Embed APIs don't support opening PDF portfolio. You would need to use Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Acrobat Reader to open PDF portfolio.

So I use Adobe Portfolio to display my work Adobe Portfolio | Build your own personalized website I was told by their support staff that while they allow embed codes from Adobe Community and Adobe XD, the code needs to be in an iframe. Is there any information you can give me to help figure this out? I'm not a coder, so am really struggling with this.

Hi Sahil,

Thanks for using View SDK, Sorry for the inconvenience. Could you give us more context like which embed mode you are trying and snippet you are using to achieve the same?

I would appreciate it if you can share the screenshot along with the browser console of the error and the exact snippet you are using (use placeholders in place of sensitive information). This will help us reproduce the issue.
