Is it possible to pass the path for a PDF to PDF Embedder via the form URL?

    I am trying to build a  content approval form where a customer would received the form with an embedded PDF for approval.  The PDF would be unique for each customer / job so I'd like to have the PDF Embedder show a different PDF based on variables submitted in the URL Parameters.

    Is this possible?  Would it simply be the "Unique Name" variable name in the PDF Embedder properties?

    I have included the form I'm currently working on as a link below.

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    The PDF embedder widget works manually, that means you will always have to manually upload the PDF file for it to be displayed. It can't be used dynamically to change via URL, this is not how the PDF Embedder was designed for. I'm sorry, but your requirement is not possible for this widget and I don't see any widget that allows you to pass URL dynamically.

    I know that you wanted to post the PDF file uniquely per customer, but we currently don't have any widget that works that way.

    I hope that answers your question. Let us know if you have any questions or if you need further assistance.
