create a Shortcode in HUGO to embed PDF

To create a shortcode in Hugo to embed a PDF, you can define a custom shortcode that uses HTML’s <embed> or <iframe> tag to render the PDF within your Hugo site.

Here’s how to create a simple shortcode named pdfembed.html:

  1. Create a file named pdfembed.html inside the layouts/shortcodes/ directory of your Hugo site.
  2. Add the following code to pdfembed.html:
{{ $url := .Get "src" }}
{{ if not $url }}
  <p><strong>Error:</strong> PDF URL is required. Usage: </p>
{{ else }}
  <embed src="{{ $url }}" type="application/pdf" width="{{ .Get "width" | default "100%" }}" height="{{ .Get "height" | default "600px" }}" />
{{ end }}

This shortcode takes three parameters:

  • src (required): the URL/path to the PDF file.
  • width (optional): width of the embed element (default is 100%).
  • height (optional): height of the embed element (default is 600px).

This will render an embedded PDF within your Hugo page using the browser’s PDF viewer.

If you want to use <iframe> instead, you can modify the shortcode accordingly. Let me know if you’d like that version.
