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.

PDF Embed API

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.

This is what I'm finding out too. You can use an iframe but it will only accept a few approved sites. Makes it a bit useless really. I'm trying to embed some virtual tours but it just rejects the link every time, even though I have easily embedded it on other services such as Photoshelter. Dissapointing.

What's crazy is that it doesn't approve Adobe Express either. If your own sites aren't approved, then what is? I would like if I didn't have to provide an external link for my PDFs I had to upload onto Adobe express. Would much rather just have a slideshow option, but Adobe Portfolio doesn't have that feature either. So frustrating!!!

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.
