PDF always loading, never displaying.

[corei8]

The initial installation did not work at all. But then I ran across this guide and I can get the shortcode to start loading the PDF, but it never actually loads it: the wheel just keeps on spinning.

For me it is working only locally when I run the hugo server. On my website https://sysadmin.info.pl/pl/blog/moja-praca-inzynierska/ it does not work. the repository from github is taken by netlify and I added my custom domain. I have no idea is it possible to add CORS to netlify.

[sysadmin-info]

I know the solution. First of all in my case I had to change in config.toml a base URL to this
baseURL = "/"

Then in the netlify.toml (because I am using netlify) I had to define headers this way:

[build]
  command = "hugo"
  publish = "public"

[build.environment]
  HUGO_VERSION = "0.111.3"

[[headers]]
  for = "/*"
    [headers.values]
    Access-Control-Allow-Origin = "sysadmin.info.pl"

After that in my md file where I am using a shortcode I defined it this way:

{{< embed-pdf url="../../../files/document.pdf" renderPageNum="1" >}}

Because I keep the PDF file in the directory

/root dir of my site/static/files

And my md file where I am using the shortcode is located here:

/root dir of my site/content/pl/blog

This way I solved the problem. I think you can try. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me, please.

@corei8 @sysadmin-info You can take a look at how the shortcode is embedded and the Hugo site config in the demo site here

This site is built with the minimal theme and is deployed using Netlify.

I figured it out. In the config.toml where the base url is defined instead of / it has to be https://example.com/ not https://example.com or / The / at the end of the address is crucial.

I also have this issue even when using

hugo server --baseURL "/"

Read one more time carefully my answer.

So instead / use your base address with / at the end eg. https://sysadmin.info.pl/
