PDFViewer Wix App: Customizable PDF Viewer for a Better Reading Experience
The PDFViewer Wix app lets you display PDFs directly on your website, menus, brochures, catalogs, reports, or manuals, without sending visitors to a download or a new tab. It includes page navigation, zoom, in-document search, and full color and font customization, so the viewer matches your site instead of looking like a bolted-on file.
Introduction
Many businesses need to display PDFs directly on their websites without making visitors download them or open a new tab. Menus, brochures, catalogs, reports, and manuals all need a simple way to be viewed online, read smoothly, and actually match the rest of your site.
To solve this, we built the PDFViewer app for Wix, with easy viewing and full customization options, so your documents feel like part of your website, not a file dumped onto it.
In this guide, we'll walk through what the PDFViewer Wix app does, its key features, and how to add it to your website in minutes.
The Problem: Why Wix Sites Need a Better Way to Show PDFs
If you've ever added a PDF to a Wix website using a plain link, some of this will sound familiar:
PDFs opened in new tabs, pulling visitors away from your site entirely
Visitors had to download documents, adding friction before they could even read them
Long PDFs were difficult to navigate, with no easy way to jump around
Finding text took extra time, with no in-document search
PDF design did not match the website, breaking the visual experience you'd built
What Is the PDFViewer Wix App?
The PDFViewer Wix app lets you display PDFs directly on any page of your website, with a clean toolbar that makes even long documents easy to read. You pick any PDF from your Media Manager, place the viewer anywhere on your site, and it's live. No code needed.
It's built for exactly the kind of content most business sites rely on: menus, brochures, catalogs, reports, manuals, price lists, and portfolios, all displayed natively on the page instead of forcing a download.
Key Features
Display PDFs Directly on Any Page
Show PDFs from your Media Manager on any page of your site, with no separate download step and no redirect to a new tab.
Page Navigation, Zoom, and Fit Controls
Visitors can move between pages, zoom in and out, and fit the document to the page or to the width, so long documents stay easy to read on any screen.
Search With Highlighted Matches
Visitors can search inside the PDF and jump directly between highlighted matches, instead of scrolling through a long document manually.
Full Color, Font, and Text Customization
Choose the background color, font, font color, and text size, so the viewer matches your brand instead of looking like a generic embedded file.
Works Across Devices
The viewer adapts to phones, tablets, and desktops, and shows a loading state while larger files open, so the experience stays smooth no matter how someone visits your site.
How to Install and Set Up the PDFViewer Wix App
Install the app: Add the PDFViewer app to your site from the Wix App Market.
Choose a PDF from Media Manager: Select the document you want visitors to view, directly from your site's existing media.
Add the viewer to your page: Place the PDFViewer widget wherever it fits, a menu page, a brochure section, or a resources page.
Customize colors, fonts, and text size: Adjust the viewer's look so it matches your website's branding.
Publish and display the PDF: Publish your site, and visitors can read the document directly on the page.

Easier PDF viewing, with no download or new tab required
A better website experience, keeping visitors on your site
