Wix Apps: Adding and Setting Up the PDF Viewer App

4 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.
