How to Embed an Online PDF from Acrobat.com in Adobe Muse
Question details
Determine whether a PDF hosted on files.acrobat.com can be embedded directly into a website using HTML.
- Product
- Adobe Muse and Acrobat.com
- Device & OS
- not provided
- Scenario
- Building a website in Adobe Muse and attempting to embed a PDF document hosted on Adobe's file service.
- Observed behavior
- The built-in HTML embed option that was previously available in Workspaces is missing on the files.acrobat.com service.
Ensure you have access to your Adobe Muse website project files and the public URL or file of the PDF you wish to share.
Use an Alternative Document-Hosting Service
Because files.acrobat.com does not provide native embed codes, use a third-party service that supports iFrame HTML embedding.
The transition from Workspaces to files.acrobat.com removed the native HTML embed functionality. To display a PDF directly on your web page, you must migrate the file to a host that provides an iFrame embed snippet.
Upload your PDF document to a supported hosting service such as Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive.
Locate the sharing or embedding options in your new document host and copy the provided HTML iFrame code.
Open your Adobe Muse project, navigate to 'Object' in the top menu, and select 'Insert HTML'.
Paste the copied embed code into the dialog box, click OK, and drag the embedded PDF frame to your desired location on the page.
Link Directly to the Shared PDF
If you prefer to keep your file on Acrobat.com, you can add a direct hyperlink to your website instead of an embedded view.
Edit and Manage Your Documents with WPS Office
Need an efficient way to edit your PDFs before uploading them to your website? WPS Office is a highly compatible, free alternative to Microsoft Office that includes a comprehensive PDF editor, allowing you to quickly modify text, compress files, and adjust layouts in a familiar, lightweight interface.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Visit the official WPS website and download the free software suite for your operating system.
- 2. Open your PDF: Launch WPS Office and click 'Open' to select the PDF you want to prepare for your website.
- 3. Edit and Save: Use the PDF tools to modify text or compress the file size, then save it locally before uploading it to your web host.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I find the embed code on files.acrobat.com?
Adobe removed the built-in HTML embed feature when transitioning from Workspaces to files.acrobat.com. Currently, the service only provides direct shareable links rather than iFrame embed codes.
Can I manually create an iFrame to embed an Acrobat.com link?
Usually, manually placing an Acrobat.com share link inside an HTML iFrame tag will not work due to cross-origin security policies enforced by the server, which block the document from displaying on third-party domains.
How do I add custom HTML codes to an Adobe Muse page?
In your Adobe Muse workspace, go to the top menu, click on 'Object', and select 'Insert HTML'. A dialog box will appear where you can paste any custom embed codes or scripts.
