Hi, I’m building a site with Wix Studio. On one of my pages, I’d like to show a PDF inline on my page. I’ve seen reference to a “PDF Viewer” made by Wix. However, I can’t find it in the App Market; only third party viewers. When I search Google, I’ve found references to this link: https://www.wix.com/app-market/web-solution/pdf-viewer. However, when I go there, I get a 404.
Is the first party PDF Viewer by Wix no longer available?
Correct, the Wix PDF Viewer is no longer available (as of recently). In most cases, browsers now widely provide PDF viewer capabilities - normally via embedding the PDF url.
Alternatively, link a button to a PDF and allow it to be opened in a new tab 
Hi Noah,
The disappearing of PDF suddenly from site caused us a lot of problems, as angry customers are screaming for help. Is there any way to recoup the missing PDFs, which mean a lot to us.
We really appreciate your assistance in this regard.
Best,

AFAIK, your PDFs are still accessible via the media manager, you may just need to find an alternative solution to display them
Thanks for the reply and sorting out this confusion. Maybe a better message than “There Was an Issue Loading this Page” when people land on the page would be helpful, as I’m sure lots of docs and online resources still refer to it. (Or even better, a deprecation notice before an app is pulled for good.)
Will share this feedback with the team
In regards to deprecation notices, you should have received an email in advance letting you know that this was coming up. Worth double checking?
This is exactly the problem! Your comment really didn’t solve anything. Of course, the main problem is how to display the PDF - YESSSSS! Can you please tell us how to do that? I need my PDF file which has an interactive map and I spent a lot of time building it a few months ago. Today, I discovered it’s missing!! ARGGGGG
Noah, I run a simple Vietnam Vets site. Now the in house WIX PDF viewer has gone, I am having a real problem installing an alternative viewer. I just need single page PDF installation and free if possible. Have tried a variety of apps and none seem to have a single page ability instead of these flipbooks. Can you suggest an appropriate app for me Thanks Rob Melbourne Australia
There’s a few options available to you.
Using AI tools, like Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT - it’s possible to create a viewer that you can add to a HTML element on your site to display PDFs.
Here’s a quick example that would use the Google Docs PDF Viewer Wrapper.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<style>
body, html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
iframe {
border: none;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/gview?url=YOUR_PDF_URL&embedded=true"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
Where you update the URL (https://docs.google.com/gview?url=YOUR_PDF_URL&embedded=true) to be applicable to your use case. Changing YOUR_PDF_URL to the URL of your PDF.
I also used the PDF viewer, and discontinuing it affected my site as well. The best part about it was that we could customize the domain for the PDF (e.g., www.domain.com/document1). However, since the Wix Website Manager now generates a random string for the PDF; url looks super unprofessional when presenting it to customers.
Please bring back the PDF viewer.
