Frequently asked questions
Can I embed a PDF file directly in a SharePoint page?
Yes! You can use the File Viewer web part in modern SharePoint to embed PDFs, so users can view the file without downloading or opening it in a new tab.
Will users need special permissions to view the embedded PDF?
Yes. The PDF will only display if the user has at least read access to the file in the document library. Otherwise, they’ll see a permission error.
Can I embed multiple PDFs on one page?
Yes. You can add multiple File Viewer web parts — one for each PDF — or stack multiple Embed web parts for side-by-side document views.
Does embedding work on mobile devices?
It does, though experience varies. On mobile browsers, embedded PDFs may shrink or force a scroll. Test your layout for smaller screens if usability matters.
Can users download or print the embedded PDF?
Yes. The File Viewer shows a toolbar with download and print options, as long as the PDF permissions allow it.
Can I embed a PDF stored in OneDrive or another site?
Yes, if the file is shared and publicly accessible, you can embed it with an iframe or link to it in the File Viewer by using the full URL.
