I’ve almost found a work-a-round using an image component.  
I can link it to a pdf that is in my resources. I’m trying to find a way to “overlay” the image component with a button or something that would be like a trigger.  
So when I preview the page this image component is on in Safari and click on it the pdf is displayed.

Just thought I’d share that.

I tried to apply what Doobox suggested to Paul in the thread about embedding pdf’s but it was way beyond by skill set. See
