Hello there,

How can I embedded a multipage PDF directly into a post? Whenever I attach my PDF, it’ll just show as an attachment in the post.

I’ve also tried converting my PDF to JPEG before uploading, but only the first page shows.

Thanks!  
Nina

I would also love to see this feature, if not already available.

There is no way to embed a PDF directly in a post that I know of.

You could whitelist an Iframe to an external hosting site maybe?

How can I attach a PDF to my posts please? I can only see an option to add a link.

If PDF is an allowed extension on your site, you can just drag and drop it into the editor window.

Visit `/admin/site_settings/category/all_results?filter=authorized` and add .pdf to the _authorized extensions_ section.

I think it will be good to have a feature where we can embed a multi page pdf within a topic (like LinkedIn).
