DB will not display PDF links when embedded in a storymap or experience

[RachelK]

Hello,

I'm building a dashboard with an embedded PDF. When I open the dashboard, everything works as it should, but when I add the dashboard to a storymap or an experience, I get an error message where the PDF should be. It reads, "Requests to the server have been blocked by an extension." Any help with this would be appreciated.

This also works for twitter feed links!

Here is another option.  Using an embedded viewer, like Google Drive's embedded PDF viewer may work.  You can put in your pdf's like this:

https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=<your_pdf_URL>

Here is a good article that led me this:

Note that Adobe now has an embedded API you could look into if you don't want to use the google drive method: https://developer.adobe.com/document-services/apis/pdf-embed/
