      Hi Mehregan,

      you cannot embed PDFs like you would embed an image.

      You can embed a jpg which looks like the PDF and then link it to the real PDF. So people who click on it will download the real PDF.

      I hope that helped!

      Best!

            Hi Mehregan,

            1. You upload the PDF into your Media library:
              0_1499689034021_Bildschirmfoto 2017-07-10 um 14.16.32.png

            2. Then you click on the PDF and copy the url on the left:
              0_1499689062604_Bildschirmfoto 2017-07-10 um 14.16.37.png

            3. Then you go the the gridder and place an image

            4. Then you right-click on the image and add the url under LINK IMAGE:
              0_1499689108268_Bildschirmfoto 2017-07-10 um 14.16.14.png

            I hope I could help!

            Many wishes!

            Marius

            I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

            info@laytheme.com

            Before you post:
            1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
            2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
            3. Disable all Plugins
            4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

            This often solves issues you might run into

            When you post:
            1. Post a link to where the problem is
            2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
            3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
