Hello I was looking around to embed a pdf that I have on my google drive. So I used the iframe code and replaced FILE-URL with the sharig URL that I got of my drive. However, it first gave me an error (an empty frame) and now it is giving me a soup of letters. Any idea what I should do? I am using RW vanilla without Stacks ---

Without seeing the code or a URL to what you have done, it’s impossible to say. ---

I took instuctions from [Embed Google Docs document and PDF files within your web page – Web Notes and Ramblings](https://jonathancamp.com/2018/07/31/embed-google-docs-document-within-your-web-page/) ok, so I put a placeholder pdf for now on my Drive. URL is [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N3QV30sBLjY4w2ewSK6t3mmiW9HRuWDo/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1N3QV30sBLjY4w2ewSK6t3mmiW9HRuWDo/view?usp=sharing) Everybody with the link can see it. Then I replaced FILE-URL (see below) with the google drive link. But that does not give me a result. ---

The instructions you are following show this update > _ **Update 20180820:** _ > The following link does not work any more. BUT the methods below do! Do not go to this address just follow the instructions. > The document viewer ~~[https://docs.google.com/viewer](https://docs.google.com/viewer)~~ (link is bad now, but the instructions below work…) has two parameters: So the iframe viewer the code you’re showing doesn’t work any longer. ---

Ok, I thought that referred to the pdf he had linked. I think the easiest will be to have the pdf as a file on my website. With a size of 145kb, I don’t think I will run into bandwidth exceeded messages. ---
