Issuu allows you to embed PDF files seamlessly on your Squarespace site, perfect for displaying resumes, portfolios, and documents. Here's how to do it:

Upload to Issuu

1. Sign in to your Issuu account (or create one)
2. Click "Upload" in the left menu
3. Drag and drop your PDF or select an upload method

Get the Embed Code

1. Navigate to "Publications" in the left menu
2. Select your uploaded document
3. Click "Share" then "Embed on website"
4. Customize appearance settings
5. Click "Get Embed Code" and copy the code

Add to Squarespace

1. Log into your Squarespace site
2. Open the page editor where you want the PDF
3. Add a Code Block at your desired location
4. Paste the Issuu embed code
5. Save your changes

Note: While editing, you'll see a "Script disabled" message. To preview the embedded PDF, view your page in a private browser or while logged out.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• PDFs won't display on index pages (use Issuu's iframe option instead)
• Some templates with Ajax loading may have display issues
• For full-screen viewing, visitors can click the embedded PDF

Built-in Squarespace PDF Options:

• Create text links to PDF files
• Add PDF clickthrough links to images

Important: Custom code functionality falls outside Squarespace's technical support scope. Consider consulting Issuu's documentation, the Squarespace Forum, or hiring a Squarespace Expert for additional assistance.
