Hi, @danyklein! 👋 Have you ever tried using Cloudinary? If yes, try uploading your PDF to Cloudinary, copy it’s asset link, and paste it here - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/a/7a55e6f130cbbef71414df87d50a28be458bfe5e.png) Thanks! 😊 ---

> [@danyklein](#): > > I uploaded it to my website assets 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](https://docs.thunkable.com/media-db) 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](https://docs.thunkable.com/pdf-reader) component. ---
