    Also i had mentioned last year that the PDF embeder widget doesn't really work (PDF doesn't' appear) and i just checked and it is still not working. Any possible alternative (inside the form not on the confirmation email) or timeline when this will be fixed?

    Thank you in advance

    I just tested the PDF embedder widget at my end and it works correctly.

    Could the issue be the PDF you're trying to upload into the widget?

    Can you please another PDF file and let us know if the issue still remains?

    Here is my sample form:https://form.jotform.com/200263913358958

    Hello Richie_P,

    Thank you for this. I tried a different file and it works on the publish option which is the most important let's say.

    In the preview form options the problem remains.


    Kind regards,

    Marios

    I am able to view the PDF previewed in the Form Builder.

    Can you please try clearing your browser's cache and let us know how it goes?

    I am having the same issue, but my pages with embedded PDFs were working fine until I was alerted today, by a user of our form. Of the three that I looked at today, all are showing blank space where the PDF should be. There has got to be some explanation other than clearing a cache. I have tried on two different browsers, and get the same result. Please advise. Thank you.
