Hello! I am updating an app to include an embedded pdf (I have done this already with different documents published on drive the same way without any issues) When I embed the public pdf I am still getting an error that the pdf cannot be published. Please help! ![Screenshot 2024-02-22 at 5.25.55 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/e/0e8025870873ecf62cee3bfecd79fb3d8c6673d9.png) ![Screenshot 2024-02-22 at 5.23.21 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/5/b5b6501cebe84a94e25b7469d5b58e730aa0ea63.png) ---

Can you describe how you embed your PDF files in Glide? ---

Are you sure that your email has access to that document? ---

I used the web embed feature and included the iframe embed code from google drive. It worked with all of my other pdfs, this is the only one giving the issue! ---

Please check the iframe approach above, I embedded it in a web embed component on your Home tab. ---

Thank you Thinh! I think I did the same thing before but it wasn’t working. I wonder what I did wrong. Thank you!!! ---

You can use that approach going forward, just change the ID here. ```auto https://drive.google.com/file/d/{ID}/preview ``` ---

Do you know if that also works for `embeddedfolderview` ? For quite some time I’ve been using the following: ```auto https://drive.google.com/embeddedfolderview?id={id}#list ``` But that stopped working recently, and now I get the 403. Tried your iframe approach, but same thing 🤷‍♂️ ---
