Can anyone suggest a good way to display PDF's?

Hello, and thank you for reading. I am a super beginner. Currently I have a repeating group, with links to pdf’s stored on my database. Some of my users say they cannot get them to load, does anyone know of a way to save them as a smaller file, or a different program to load them and view? My clients only need to be able to read them, not edit if that helps.

Hi Rae,

It should be extremely easy using the link element. I have only single-page pdf’s and they load extremely fast.

You can use the google pdf viewer to embed a pdf in an HTML element:

This is how you set up:

And this is how it looks like:

<iframe
    id="documentiframe" 
    src='https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https:Current page's Document's File's URL&embedded=true' 
    width='100%' 
    height='100%' 
    frameborder='0'>
</iframe>

Thank you! That helps, I will explore that.

Thank you! I will try that and see if that helps. Its been hit and miss who can see it and who cant. I appreciate your answer.
