Basically, you can use the PDF shortcode on any page of your eLearning site. However, we represent the most logical use of the PDF shortcode while using the Academy LMS Course. Displaying the pdf view on the course details page and Lesson section will be the proper representation of this shortcode.
After logging into your eLearning website, go to Academy LMS > All Courses. Click the breadcrumb option beside the course and select edit.
Now, you can edit the course and add the PDF shortcode using the block editor. Hover your mouse into the description area and wait for the plus sign to appear. Click the plus icon, search Shortcode, and click the shortcode block.
Now paste the PDF shortcode and put the file URL in the src of the shortcode. You can find your PDF file URL from the WordPress dashboard’s media option. Here is the shortcode after placing all the required info in it:
[academy_pdf src="https://dev.academylms.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/ARTIFICIAL-INTELLIGENCEr.pdf" width="500" height="300"]
After placing the shortcode, simply click the Update button. Next, click the permalink to view the course details page. You will be taken to the course details page by clicking the permalink. On this page, you can view the PDF file right after the course details since we have placed it there.
We’ve successfully placed the PDF file in the course overview section. Now, let’s see how to add the PDF shortcode to a course lesson.
