Error with embed PDF

Report · Mar 06, 2022

I have seen many similar posts, but even with much trouble shooting I can't seem to get the PDF embed code to work. Have created multiple API keys, but won't work.

Here is the code I'm using

<html>

<head>

<title>Your title</title>

</head>

<body>

document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function()

{

var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "99546d4b3c424396afeb3522fdd20b62", divId: "adobe-dc-view"});

adobeDCView.previewFile(

{

content: {location: {url: "(http://pccirls.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/5/4/135443943/pdf_test.pdf"}},

metaData: {fileName: " pdf_test.pdf "}

});

</script>

</body>

</html>

The PDF I can see is viewable online without issue. But yet the embed code doesn't work on the website.

Lastly, even when I use the demo code. I still get this error.

document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){

var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "99546d4b3c424396afeb3522fdd20b62", 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"}

}, {embedMode: "SIZED_CONTAINER"});

});

</script>

In preview mode

In published mode

It just looks like you are not using a proper client ID. Your code works perfectly fine for me with my ID.

It looks like it is set up appropriately?

I created that Client ID brand new in case there was some issue. And here is the code in text format.

document.addEventListener("adobe_dc_view_sdk.ready", function(){

var adobeDCView = new AdobeDC.View({clientId: "ab014f3b7d4b4a6092ee37c37179ab1f", 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"}

}, {embedMode: "SIZED_CONTAINER"});

});

</script>

Your client ID was created with the www prefix but the url you are trying to use Embed API from is not. They have to match.

Yes! Thank you! It works!

After I got the source code to work with the test file it was easy to use the code to use my own file.

You are the best.
