        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!

          @mariusjopen thanks for your reply, but I'm not sure how to link the image to the PDF? like how do I get the real PDF link?

              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!

              Try this to fix issues before you post:

              Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

              1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
              2. Disable all Plugins
              3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
              4. Now see if your problem solved itself
              5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
              Troubleshooting

              When you post:
              1. Post a link to where the problem is
              2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

              Thanks!
