7 Embedding PDF files
There are two ways to embed PDF files in a Quarto page: by using native Quarto support, or with the embedpdf extension.
This is useful only for HTML/webpage output, and embedding PDFs will not render as expected in Word document or other outputs.
7.1 Native embedding
PDF files can be embedded in Quarto using the standard link syntax:
7.1.1 Controlling embedded document size
To set the height and width of the presentation of the embedded document, use brace notation:
{width=80% height=300px}{width=100% height=300px}7.2 embedpdf
embedpdf is a Quarto extension that enables embedding of PDF files directly into Quarto HTML files. The extension is included as part of this template.
With embedpdf, files are embedded using shortcodes, e.g.:
{{< pdf example.pdf >}}{{< pdf assets/papers/kiepas_et_al_2024.pdf >}}7.2.1 Controlling embedded document size
To set the height and width of the presentation of the embedded document, add these variables to the shortcode:
{{< pdf example.pdf height=200px width=80%>}}{{< pdf assets/papers/kiepas_et_al_2024.pdf height=300px width=100% >}}7.2.2 Installing embedpdf
The extension is packaged as part of this template, but if you do need to install embedpdf in other Quarto projects, use the command:
quarto add jmgirard/embedpdf
