  3. Find the PDF Embedder element.

👤 How It Works for Users​

When users open the form:

  • They'll see the embedded PDF displayed inline with the rest of the form.
  • They can scroll through the pages, zoom in/out, and view the document directly within the form.
  • The PDF Embedder is display-only — users don't need to interact with it beyond viewing.

  • Embedding brochures, catalogues, or product sheets in lead generation or order forms.
  • Displaying event schedules, programs, or guides in registration forms.
  • Showing policies, contracts, or NDAs in onboarding or application forms.
  • Providing reference documents or instructions users may need while filling the form.

The PDF Embedder element makes it easy to share important documents with your users right inside your form — keeping everything they need in one place.
