Corporations share their annual reports to prompt potential investors or shareholders to purchase stock—and so on. While the website content should be concise and easily digestible, an added PDF allows you to give your visitor a little bit or a lot more to sink their teeth into.
And in the age of mobile technology when to exceed your mobile data limit is to be left freezing cold on the outskirts of civilization, downloading PDFs is simply unacceptable. So what we propose instead, is to enhance your PDF first—by turning it into a mobile-friendly, easy-to-read online flipbook. And then add it to your Squarespace website. You can then customize and brand the flipbook according to your needs. Instead, you can simply share it via a link—or embed it.
In our case, into a Squarespace website. You can choose how your PDF will look on the page when embedded: you can either embed it as an interactive publication, ready to be flipped through, or as a neat preview of its cover. After you decide on one of the two options, copy the code and go to your Squarespace website.
It took a lot of digging through Squarespace documentation and forums before I realized there is no easy way to embed a PDF. I developed this Squarespace hack because it gets the result I want and is super simple and fast.
At the end of the day, both embedding and linking to a PDF will make the document accessible from your site, but which method you choose depends on a couple of factors.
The PDF is poorly designed or contains a lot of text like a legal document. Instead, include a text link that users can click on to go to the PDF on a separate page. For example, you might link to a PDF of an application form that needs to be filled out and sent by mail. Linking to a PDF on Squarespace is super easy.
All you have to do is:. Since embedded PDFs will be displayed right there on the page, you want it to look good and play nicely with the rest of your content. The official Squarespace recommendation is to upload your PDF to Issuu, a publishing platform, and copy and paste the embed code onto your site.
