Scribd displaying unfortunate ads - is there a better way?

[BeverlyM]

Hello - 

I'm using Scribd to display a pdf on my site at https://www.oaregion1.org/intergroups.html.  It looks great until you actually click on the pdf image to view, and then you get the image with ads.  Notice the orange book title.  I can pretty much guarantee some of our members will not appreciate it, and I would have to say it doesn't look very professional on our site. 

Does Weebly really not have its own document viewer that comes with paid sites....or are we really at the mercy of whatever ad an outside company decides to throw up? 

Is there a better way for me to approach this?  Thanks for your help / suggestions.

There are a number of options, e.g.,

1. You could use the PDF+ app from the App Center

2. Upload your PDF to Google Drive, generate the embed code then place it in an HTML element on your page

3. Embed custom code from a third party app such as Elfsight PDF Embed

None have ads but they do have a small branding logo

Hope this helps, Gary

Thank you, Gary.  That was worked well!  https://www.oaregion1.org/intergroups.html

I used the Google Drive embed code option you suggested, but it was new to me so I had to look that up.  I found fairly easy instructions at https://support.google.com/drive/thread/34363118?hl=en.  He mentions two different options; the first worked fine for me. 

Google Drive has offered the official feature to create an embedding link.

1) Open the preview page of public image,

2) Click the 3 dots icon on the top-right then "Open in new window",

3) Click the 3 dots icon again in new window, then "Embed item".

I was originally trying to upload my map as a pdf, but found a png file allowed me to move around on the map with a "hand" rather than with scroll bars on the side and bottom. 

Posting this additional info here in case someone else finds it useful.

I really appreciate your help, Gary.
