The answer is yes, but there are a few caveats.
First, you need to have a PDF hosted somewhere online. You can’t simply upload a PDF to your Squarespace site and embed it – you need to have it hosted elsewhere, like on Dropbox or Google Drive.
Once you have the PDF hosted, you can use the Embed Block to embed it on your Squarespace site. Just paste the URL of the PDF into the Embed Block and it will automatically embed the PDF on the page.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind when embedding PDFs on Squarespace. First, the PDF will be embedded using an iFrame, which means that visitors will be able to download the PDF if they right-click on it (or use the context menu).
Second, the PDF will be embedded using its full URL. This means that if you ever change the URL of the PDF (for example, if you move it to a different hosting service), you’ll need to update the URL in your Embed Block. Otherwise, visitors will see a broken link on your site.
Finally, keep in mind that not all browsers support iFrames very well. In particular, older versions of Internet Explorer can have issues with displaying iFrames correctly. So if you’re worried about compatibility, you may want to consider linking to the PDF instead of embedding it.
In conclusion, yes – you can embed a PDF on Squarespace – but there are a few things to keep in mind before doing so.
