It is difficult to properly display a pdf on a google site. The best solution I have found is using a file cabinet and linking to the pdf directly. Then the browser will open it. This was the only way to view a pdf on my site, on a browser.
- Create a file cabinet page:
- New page, file cabinet template.
- Load the pdfs to be displayed on the file cabinet page.
- The url to display a pdf that is loaded on the file cabinet is this:
- https://sites.google.com/site/yousitename/yourfilecabinetpage/yourpdfname.pdf
- Spaces Cannot be used in the name for the pdf
- Place a link to the url wherever you would like users to be able to open the pdf.
- I like to put links in the top ribbon
