Hi! I’m rather new to the Compozer experience and loving it so far! Do any of you know how to embed a PDF? I want to able to view the actual the PDFs inside the course without having to rely on the learner to be downloading. Any ideas on how to do this 🙂 ? If it helps the PDF is upload on our website, similiar to this one…

Hey Helen, welcome aboard! Great to hear you’re enjoying Compozer.

If your PDF is already hosted online, you’ve got a couple of easy options to display it inside your course instead of having learners download it.

You can simply embed it using an iframe. Here’s how:

1. Copy the full URL of your PDF (the direct link to the file).
2. In Compozer, add an Embed block to your lesson.
3. Paste in the iframe code.

**Another option** is to head over to [iframe-generator.com](http://iframe-generator.com) - it’ll create the iframe code for you automatically. Just paste your PDF’s link there, adjust the size and copy the generated code into your Embed block.

Take a quick look at the screenshot I’ve provided of the Embed block. Once you preview the course, your PDF should display directly inside the lesson window.
