Adding PDF Documents to Adobe Portfolio

There is not an intuitive way for hosting PDF documents inside of Adobe Portfolio, but there are
several workarounds to complete this process. This is the final option we will discuss. It is the
most involved process, but it probably yields the best results.

Embed PDF File Using Scribd and iFrame


This option includes using a third party site, SCRIBD, to host your file and then embedding your
file using iFrame code to Adobe Portfolio.

1. Select the PDF file you would like to upload and open your web browser. Go to
www.scribd.com select “Sign in” in the upper right corner, and then, “Sign up.”

2. You can sign up through Google, Facebook, or with an email address. Complete the sign-
up process. Once you have created an account, you will have the option to “upload”
next to your profile icon. Select it.
3. “Select Documents to Upload” and find the PDF you would like to include. Give your file
a title and description and select “done.”
4. The next screen will include a link to your file. You will want to copy this on your
computer so we can paste it in an iFrame Code next.

5. Head over to your Adobe Portfolio page and find the section you would like to include
your PDF File on. Click the “Blue Plus Sign” to add content and select “Embed.”
6. The “Embed Code” window will come up on the upper left corner of the screen. Input
the following code:
a. <iframe src="replace" width="1024px" height="512px"></iframe>
b. Replace the text in red with the code you received from Scribd.com
c. Click “Save Embed.”

7. Your PDF is now displayed on your portfolio page.
