    Hi

    I would like to put on my form a widget for download a document. Every one have to read a rules section, but it's a very long text, so i would like the person can download a file or a link to open a new page to pdf.

    Thank you for your help.

    If you have the terms available in a web page, you may use the Terms and Conditions widget and link the web page there.

    If you have the rules as a PDF file, you may upload it to your server and get the direct link and display the file on the form using the PDF embedder widget.

    Hope this information helps! Please get back to us if you need any further assistance. We will be happy to help.

    Please be noted that it is required to have the PDF file to be accessible directly in order to display in the PDF embedder widget. The PDF link that you have provided seems to be file sharing link in which the file is not directly accessible. You may upload the PDF file to your Google Drive and use the sharing link to display it on the PDF embedder widget.

    Please give it a try and let us know if you need any further assistance. Thank you!

    Hello,

    I would recommend that you place your PDF file somewhere else other than from those cloud services like Google Drive. What is needed is that you have the direct link to the PDF file when visiting the link. Example: http://www.somedomain.com/files/yourdocument.pdf  

    While PDF files are accessible through the links you have provided, these are not the actual direct links to the files and for this reason why they do not appear within the form when used as a source link. 

    If you need clarification on this matter, please let us know.

    I added a PDF for you in your form:

    And here is how it looks like:

    I wasn't sure where you want that field to be, so feel free to reposition it. Also you can adjust the height and width of it by using the Properties button:
