Create an Issuu PDF Viewer for your Squarespace site in 4 simple steps.

Step 1: Upload PDF to Issuu

• Log into Issuu (or create an account)
• Click Upload in left menu
• Drag and drop your PDF file
• Wait for upload confirmation

Step 2: Generate Embed Code

• Navigate to Publications
• Select your uploaded PDF
• Click Share > Embed on Website

• Customize display settings
• Click Get Embed Code
• Copy the generated code

Step 3: Add to Squarespace

• Log into Squarespace
• Open your page editor
• Add a Code block
• Paste Issuu code

• Save changes (ignore "Script Disabled" message - it's only visible while editing)

Step 4: View Your PDF

• View page in private browsing mode or while logged out
• Click PDF to open full-screen lightbox view

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Use iFrame option for index pages
• Some templates with Ajax loading may have display issues
• PDFs work best on standard pages
• For mobile compatibility, adjust display settings in Issuu

Alternative PDF Options:

• Create text links to PDFs
• Use image clickthrough URLs
• Upload PDFs directly to Squarespace

Note: This integration uses custom code and falls outside standard Squarespace support. Consider consulting Squarespace Experts for custom implementation help.
