Embed PDF Files on Squarespace Using Issuu

Upload your PDF to Issuu:

1. Log into Issuu or create an account
2. Click [Upload] in the left menu
3. Drag and drop your PDF or click to select file
4. Find uploaded files under [Publications]

Get the embed code:

1. Navigate to [Publications]
2. Select your PDF
3. Click [Share] > [Embed on Website]
4. Customize appearance
5. Click [Get Embed Code]
6. Copy the generated code

Add to Squarespace:

1. Open your page editor
2. Insert a Code block
3. Paste the Issuu code
4. Save changes

Note: When editing, you'll see "Scripts are disabled" - this is normal. View your page while logged out to see the embedded PDF.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• PDFs won't display in index pages - use Issuu's iFrame option instead
• Some templates with Ajax loading may have display issues
• View embedded PDFs in private browsing to verify proper display
• Click the PDF to view in full-screen lightbox

Alternative PDF Options in Squarespace:

• Create text links to PDF files
• Make images clickable to open PDFs
• Use native Squarespace file hosting

For additional support:

• Review Squarespace's code customization guide
• Consult Issuu's documentation
• Visit the Squarespace Forum
• Consider hiring a Squarespace Expert

Remember: Code-based solutions may not be fully compatible with all templates or mobile devices, and functionality may change with platform updates.
