I have been going crazy trying to figure out why some of my .pdf files are not displaying on the web but do in RW. I have around 100 on my site so far and most do display. This is a good example.

In RapidWeaver

Hi @richjh,

Do you have a link to the live site that should display the PDF?

Cheers,

WOOP’s I sure do [19th Century U. S. Patent Coffee Roasters](https://www.oldcoffeeroaster.com/page-11/page8.html#)  
I Have done over 100 so far and no matter what I do it won’t load. I have noticed that on a few patents selecting Macro instead of URL it will load. This patent doesn’t load regardless of what I do. Can you tell me the difference between the two options?

Hi @richjh,

Hmmm - when I follow that link, I end up on an overview page with lots of different links to PDFs, but none them match your screenshot.

When I CMD+F and look for the patent number in your screenshot, I can’t find it either.

Are you sure you’ve uploaded the correct version of the page?

Cheers,  
Erwin
