By default, linking to a PDF on Squarespace sends the visitor away from your page into the browser's own document viewer, or triggers a download. PDF Lightbox from BeyondSpace keeps them on the page instead: click the link and the PDF opens in an overlay, with the site still visible behind it. Close the overlay and they are exactly where they left off. The lightbox can be customised to fit your design and works on mobile as well as desktop.

Who it suits

Restaurants with menus, architects and designers with project sheets, consultancies with case studies and reports, and any site where the document is part of the browsing experience rather than a separate download. We like it for menus in particular, where sending someone off-site to read a PDF is a small but real friction.

One honest caveat

A lightbox does not make a large PDF smaller. Multi-page brochures with high-resolution images will still take a moment to load, so compress your documents before uploading them.

Installation

BeyondSpace plugins are supplied as code you add to your Squarespace 7.1 site following their instructions, and you then mark up the links you want to open in the lightbox. Custom code normally requires a plan that allows code injection.
