Error embedding PDFs in Rise
has this issue bee resolved. I seem to be experiencing the same issue. Added a lesson where I inserted my PDFs as attachments. I copied the link from each attachment and inserted it into an embedded block within it's corresponding lesson. Sometimes it works and other times just a blank box. Please help!
Hi Jessica,
PDFs uploaded to Rise should work every time. Do you have any problems with the PDFs in an attachment block?
What I don't understand, is why you are then copying the links to these PDFs and inserting them into other embedded blocks?

Hi Karl! To answer your question, the method Jessica shared is a way to show the PDF inline in the embed block in Rise so you don't need to download or open a new window to see the PDF.
1 - Uploading it as an attachment and clicking this opens the PDF in a URL.
2 - Copying this URL and inserting it in an Embed Block display it inline
Jessica, if you're having trouble seeing the PDF, it most likely hasn't loaded in yet. You may need to refresh or clear your cache so that the PDF loads in properly.
I've seen this happen with wider PDF files or PDF files that are in landscape mode.Can you try clearing your browsing data? Here's how to do it for your browser:
Let me know if that doesn't help!
