In Chrome and Edge I continue to get the "Chrome blocked this file" or "Edge blocked this file" messages.&nbsp; In Firefox (from my understanding, no extension needed), the frame is just blank. I've also tried using the suggestion to embed the google docs viewer in the file url and that works extremely intermittently/slowly, or not at all.</P><P>I can get them to display with this extension only:</P><P><A href="https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pdf-viewer/oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm</A></P><P>But the intent of this dashboard is to be public facing and I'm&nbsp; nervous about asking people to install that extension (I would be ok with asking them to install the official Adobe extension). I'm also curious why that extension works and the official Adobe one doesn't.</P><P>Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions about this?&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 16 Jan 2025 20:56:07 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-questions/embedded-pdfs-not-displaying-even-with-pdf-browser/m-p/1576597#M10670 SaraFrankenfeld 2025-01-16T20:56:07Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-questions/embedded-pdfs-not-displaying-even-with-pdf-browser/m-p/1577283#M10677 <P>Hello,&nbsp;<SPAN>It is a known limitation that some browsers block embedded PDFs in a dashboard&nbsp;</SPAN><SPAN>due to security reasons (<A href="https://portswigger.net/web-security/cross-site-scripting/stored" target="_self" rel="nofollow noreferrer">stored cross-site scripting</A>).
