Wix Apps: Adding and Setting Up the Wix PDF Viewer App

3 min read

The PDF Viewer app by Wix allows you to share PDF files directly on your website. This tool offers a seamless way for your site visitors to view, download, or print your PDFs without leaving your website. As a site owner, this can help you provide important information, share your work, or distribute resources easily and efficiently.

For example, if you're a teacher with your own site, you could use the Wix PDF Viewer app to share lesson plans, assignments, or reading materials directly with your students. This ensures your students can always access the materials they need right from your site.

Note:

Currently, it is only possible to download and print pdf's when using the button layouts.

Step 1 | Add the PDF Viewer app to your site

Go to the Wix App Market.
Type "PDF Viewer" in the search bar.
Select PDF Viewer from the search results.
Click Add to Site.
