Hi, @danyklein! :wave:

Have you ever tried using Cloudinary?
If yes, try uploading your PDF to Cloudinary, copy it’s asset link, and paste it here -

I was able to get this working with the URL ended with .pdf but for files stored in cloud storage it doesn’t seem to work.

We have specifically made the MediaDB component to handle tasks such as this.

You can upload your pdf file to Cloudinary and get a url (ending in .pdf) to paste in the PDF Reader component.

That’s what I said too :upside_down_face:

Really, Cloudinary is such a great service. Hats off to their devs!
