Hello Matt and Nick,
Sorry to hear that you're seeing a blank screen when trying to view your embedded PDF.
Typically, a blank screen could mean that the PDF failed to load from the platform where it is hosted. Would you mind sharing copies of your PDFs here?

I used the example from the post to upload it into a course on Rise 360, then linked to it from another course also on Rise 360. Everything is hosted via Articulate on the Rise 360 software.
