Can a PDF file be directly viewed on a Webflow website without downloading it?

Yes, it is possible to directly view a PDF file on a Webflow website without downloading it. Webflow has a built-in embed element that allows you to embed various types of content, including PDF files, directly onto your web pages.

Here are the steps to embed a PDF file in Webflow:

1. Upload your PDF file to a file hosting service or any cloud storage platform like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Adobe Document Cloud.
2. Once your PDF file is uploaded and accessible with a URL, go to your Webflow project and open the page where you want to embed the PDF file.
3. Drag and drop an Embed element (or any other element you prefer) onto your page layout where you want the PDF to appear.
4. Click on the Embed element and a settings panel will open on the right side of the Webflow designer.
5. In the settings panel, paste the embed code for your PDF file. The embed code depends on the file hosting service you are using.
6. After pasting the embed code, you should see the PDF file directly displayed on your Webflow page.

It's worth mentioning that the appearance and behavior of the embedded PDF may depend on the file hosting service you use, as they may provide different options for customization. Some file hosting services allow you to specify the width, height, and other visual settings for the embedded PDF.

By following these steps, you can display a PDF file directly on your Webflow website, allowing your visitors to view the content without having to download it.
