Note: When editing, you'll see a "Script Disabled" message. To preview the PDF, view your page while logged out or in private browsing.

Important Tips:

• PDFs won't display in Index Pages (use Issuu iFrame instead)
• Some templates with Ajax loading may have display issues
• Visitors can view PDFs in full-screen lightbox mode

Alternative PDF Options:

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

For technical support:

• Consult Issuu's documentation
• Visit the Squarespace Forum
• Consider hiring a Squarespace Expert

Best practices:

• Test display across different devices
• Ensure PDFs are optimized for web viewing
• Keep file sizes reasonable for faster loading

Remember: Code-based customizations may require updates with future platform changes. Squarespace doesn't provide direct support for custom code implementation.
