I am very new to GitHub and to web developing. I am creating a static personal page on GitHub pages. I have a set of slides and I managed to link to them using a picture. However, I am stuck with the solution below, which opens my directory and previews the file but does not open the slides nicely in a pdf-viewer. I am too noob to understand the solutions below: Opening PDF in a browser with Github Pages The only suspicion that I have is that this might be due to the fact that the website has not been published yet, but I am just speculating. Could anyone explain to me how to fix this? Crossposting from here |

From the HTML code that you provided, it looks like you’re trying to grab a PDF from a separate GitHub repository that is non-relating to your GitHub Pages one. To fix this issue, it is recommended that you upload the PDF to your main GitHub Pages repository and then referencing it in your HTML code. For example: ^ this is also assuming you put the PDF file in its own respective pdfs folder. If you still have a problem getting it to open correctly, try adding this to your <a> tag: Hope this works out well! |
