By adding the File Viewer macro to your Portal page body full record template you can embed PDF's directly into the page. The macro is named: [FILE_VIEWER]

Once the macro is added to your template any record that users open, which has a PDF uploaded to the Soutron record, will show the viewer in the location you placed the macro. 

If the PDF has copyright protection applied to the file this will be shown before the PDF is available, once the user accepts the copyright the PDF will be shown.

The widget header shows the name of the PDF file. 

In the case where multiple PDF's are attached to the same record a navigation list will be shown allowing the user to easily switch between the various PDF's.
