How to add PDF Viewer to a Plone website

First, create a Plone PDF Viewer add-on on Common Ninja. On the add-ons catalog, find the PDF Viewer and enter the Editor.

When you're done creating the PDF Viewer add-on, click on the Save Changes button at the right top corner of the editor. If you don't have an account on Common Ninja, you'll have to register first.

When you're ready to add the PDF Viewer add-on to your Plone website, click the Add To Website button at the top bar of the Editor. On the window that opens, click the Copy Icon to copy the add-on embed code. In the next steps, you will paste this code into your Plone website.

Next, go to your Plone website editor and find the HTML field. It is most likely in the form of an HTML/Code widget or module which you can find on the Plone’s editor. Add it to your page, and paste the PDF Viewer Embed Code you’ve copied before to the HTML field. Save and update, and that’s it, you should have Common Ninja’s PDF Viewer add-on on your Plone website.

If you can't find the HTML/Code widget or module, there's another way to put Common Ninja’s PDF Viewer add-on on your Plone add-on. You can just add the code to a special HTML section in the text editor.

If you're having trouble finding a widget or a special part in your text editor where you can add the Embed Code, you can try a different way to add the PDF Viewer add-on to your Plone website. You can do this by putting it straight into your Plone website's HTML code.
