PDF reader in the page builder

Sina

  • Updated

With our page builder, you can easily offer multi-page PDF files for immediate reading in your shop, your membership areas and on the content pages of your online courses. Use the "PDF file" block for this.

The PDF file block is a reading tool for each PDF file with or without a download option. Several files are available for you to download using the >>Download files block.

Hinweis.png Please note

The PDF reader is not supported by Internet Explorer 11. The page element is therefore not displayed in this browser. For optimal performance, we recommend "Google Chrome" or "Mozilla Firefox".
