Upload and display PDF files on your Squarespace site using Issuu in these simple steps:

Step 1: Upload to Issuu

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

Step 2: Get the Embed Code

1. Go to Publications in Issuu
2. Select your PDF
3. Click Share > Embed on Website
4. Customize appearance as needed
5. Click Get Embed Code and copy it

Step 3: Add to Squarespace

1. Edit your Squarespace page
2. Click an insert point
3. Select Code from the block menu
4. Paste the Issuu code

Note: You'll see "Script disabled" while editing - this is normal. The PDF will display correctly for visitors.

Step 4: View Your PDF

• View the page while logged out or in incognito mode
• Click the PDF to open it in full-screen mode

Troubleshooting Tips:

• PDFs won't display in index pages - use Issuu's iFrame option instead
• Some templates with Ajax loading may have display issues
• For mobile responsiveness, test thoroughly across devices

Alternative PDF Options:

• Create a text link to your PDF
• Make an image clickable to open the PDF
• Use Squarespace's native file hosting

Remember: Custom code modifications aren't supported by Squarespace support. Test thoroughly and consider consulting a Squarespace expert for complex implementations.
