There are a few ways you can upload and use a PDF on Wix websites.


Here's how to add PDFs to a Wix website:


  1. LINK: Link to the PDF via a button or text link – to do this you can upload PDF to Wix media library and choose "Document" to link text or a button to the PDF.

  2. Embed PDF in Viewer App: Embed PDFs using a PDF app viewer like the free Wix PDF Viewer app which allows users to scroll through your PDF in an embedded PDF viewer window.

  3. CONVERT PDF TO IMAGES TO USE DIRECTLY ON SITE: If you have just a one-page PDF or want to display the images right on the page, often the BEST option is to convert the PDF to a webpage friendly image. You can convert the PDF to JPG image(s) so you can place them anywhere to display on the webpage. This works well if you have a PDF that is just one page or you want the user to be able to see it right on the page. If you have multiple pages, you can convert all of the pages into JPGs and put them on a page or into a slideshow gallery if desired so the user can view them directly on the page. Note: You cannot use a PDF on a webpage like an image, there are PDF viewers but if you want to just display what is in the PDF on the page, the best way is to convert it to a JPG image file, as those can be used on any website, blog or social media. You can do this with most photo/image editors such as Adobe Photoshop. Or, there are also free online tools that will convert PDFs to JPGs for you such as smallpdf.com/pdf-to-jpg
