Diplaying code only, and not actual file

    Thank you for your message. Sorry for the delay in replying.

    The problem is that your file is on Dropbox, and the URL you are using is this one:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/5zpe5jhb45w79ax/FINAL_Web_Booklet.pdf?dl=0

    If you take a look, you’ll see that it isn’t really a link to a PDF. It is a link to a web page that allows you to view/download a PDF. So what you’re seeing in Google’s Document Viewer is the web page, not the PDF. That’s why it’s just code.

    Maybe try this link instead (just dl=1 at the end, instead of 0)

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/5zpe5jhb45w79ax/FINAL_Web_Booklet.pdf?dl=1

    That is a direct link to the PDF, so should work.

    If this doesn’t help, I would recommend just hosting the PDF on your WordPress server – upload to the Media Library instead of running off Dropbox.

    Regards,

    Dan
