Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them

1. PDF not displaying
   If your PDF fails to embed, it’s likely due to restricted file permissions. Make sure the file is publicly viewable or use a direct download link.

2. File too large
   Uploading very large PDFs may cause issues with preview or loading time. Consider compressing the PDF before embedding.

3. Wrong block type used
   Using a text block instead of the embed or file block won’t render the PDF. Always choose the correct block type for embedding.

4. Layout breaks on mobile
   Full-width layouts look great on desktop but may appear misaligned on mobile. Test and adjust your layout for responsiveness.

5. Embeds breaking over time
   Cloud-based file links may expire or be revoked. Regularly update or check your embedded links if they’re critical.
