PDF Embed Widget — Add It to Your Website

Overview

What PDF Embed does

PDF Embed is an embeddable widget you drop into any website with a single snippet of code. Embed PDF files for convenient viewing and downloading. It runs in its own isolated frame, so it can never clash with your site's own styles or scripts, and it resizes itself to fit wherever you place it.

PDF Embed keeps itself up to date: once the snippet is on your page, everything it displays is driven from your myNaturevista dashboard. Change a setting there and your live site reflects it straight away, without editing a single line of code again.

You control how it looks and behaves from 4 settings — pdf file, title, viewer height (px), show download link. Pick the options that match your brand, save, and the change is live.

Like every widget in the myNaturevista tools & utilities collection, PDF Embed is built to be fast and unobtrusive: it loads asynchronously so it never blocks your page, works on phones and desktops alike, and can be added to as many of your pages as you want.

Works on any website — just paste one embed code.
Lightweight and fast-loading — won't slow down your site.

Setup

How to add PDF Embed to your site

Three steps, about two minutes, no build tools.

1

Add the loader once

Paste a single <script> tag before your closing </body> tag. One loader powers every myNaturevista widget on the page, so you only ever add it once.
2

Place the widget

Drop a small <div> wherever PDF Embed should appear — inside a column, a section, a sidebar, anywhere. It takes the width it is given and sets its own height.
3

Configure it in the dashboard

Choose the theme and options that suit your site from the dashboard. PDF Embed picks them up on the next page load.

your-page.html

<!-- 1. Load the myNaturevista loader once per page -->
<script src="https://mynaturevista.com/w.js"></script>

<!-- 2. Place the widget wherever it should appear -->
<div data-menv-widget="pdf-embed"
     data-menv-key="YOUR_API_KEY"
     data-menv-instance="YOUR_INSTANCE_ID"></div>

Use cases

Who uses PDF Embed

A page that lets someone actually do something converts better than a page that only tells them about it. Useful beats persuasive.

Give visitors something useful to do on the page instead of only something to read.

Small businesses

Answer the practical question customers came for, right where they are.

Agencies

Ship the same tested widget across every client site instead of rebuilding it each time.

Content sites

Add an interactive element to long articles to lift time on page.

FAQ

PDF Embed — frequently asked questions

How do I add the PDF Embed widget to my website?

Add the myNaturevista loader script once before your closing </body> tag, then place a <div> with your widget id, API key and instance id wherever PDF Embed should appear. That is the whole installation — it works on any platform that lets you paste HTML, including WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow and hand-written sites.

Do I need to know how to code to use PDF Embed?

No. If you can paste a snippet of HTML into your site once, you are done. Everything after that — settings, content and styling — is handled from your myNaturevista dashboard, with no further code changes.

Can I customise how PDF Embed looks?

Yes. PDF Embed exposes 4 settings: pdf file, title, viewer height (px), show download link. Change them in the dashboard and your live site picks the new values up on the next page load.

Does PDF Embed work on mobile?

Yes. PDF Embed is responsive: it takes the width of the container you place it in and adjusts its layout and height for phones, tablets and desktops.

Will PDF Embed slow down my website?

No. The loader is asynchronous, so it never blocks your page from rendering, and the widget itself runs in an isolated frame that loads separately from your own content.

Can I use PDF Embed on more than one website?

Yes. Each website you own gets its own API key and its own configuration, so the same widget can show different settings and content on each domain.

Which plans include PDF Embed?

PDF Embed is available on the following plans: Free, Starter, Business, Enterprise. You can change plan at any time from your dashboard.
