How to Embed a PDF Brochure or Menu on Your Draftly Site
Restaurants, hotels, consultants, and agencies frequently need to show PDFs inline — without requiring a download.
Method 1: Upload and Link (Simplest)
- Upload your PDF to the Draftly media library
- Copy the direct URL
- Link from a button: 'Download Our Menu' or 'View Brochure'
Method 2: Inline Embed via Google Drive
- Upload PDF to Google Drive
- Set sharing to 'Anyone with the link can view'
- Click Share → Embed → Copy the iframe code
- Add a Custom HTML block in Draftly and paste the embed
Method 3: Issuu Embed (Magazine Style)
For catalogues and brochures where presentation matters:
- Upload to Issuu.com (free plan available)
- Get the embed code
- Paste into Draftly's Custom HTML block
Issuu renders PDFs as flipbook-style magazines.
Best Practices
- Always also offer a download link alongside an embed — some users prefer to download
- Compress PDFs before uploading (Adobe Acrobat online, Smallpdf.com)
- For menus, consider linking to a real-time updated version if prices change frequently
