  Hello,

  I have been embedding PDFs on pages using hyperlinks. This works perfectly on computers but not on mobile. In some mobiles only the first page appears and people are unable to scroll to view the rest of the document, and in others instead of the embedded pdf people just see the hyperlink.

  Is there any way to fix this and allow mobile users to properly view embedded PDFs? We cannot install plug-ins.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there! You should only see the link to the PDF on mobile devices. You can see that behavior on our support document here if you view it on a mobile device:

  If you’re still have issues, can you give us some links to pages on your site that have PDFs so we can take a closer look? Thanks!
