The links to files on Adobe Document Cloud are links to the Document Cloud Viewer, not to the PDF files themselves. You'll need to host your files somewhere else. I have an example of hosting files on Dropbox at this CodePen.

I tried that first but thought it may have to be on Document Cloud when it didn't work

The default share links from dropbox don't work for the same reason that PDF files in Document Cloud don't work. The CodePen has a function called directLinkFromDropboxLink(). This function modifies the share link to a direct link. Try using Dropbox again but with my code sample.

Thanks, Is the clientId from Document Cloud or Dropbox?

Not usually having to get involved in coding... A tad rusty!!!

The clientID is for CodePen. Create your credential for the domain hosting your HTML, not the PDF.
