Most lightboxes do not not support PDF.
Lightboxes are meant for displaying images.

Maybe convert pdf to webpage and then view it on lightbox. Just a thought.

I do pdf in lightbox on my site:
When setting up link I have following settings
Link to - External web address
URL - address on local disk i.e. "file://
local disk:\
folder name\
file name.pdf#zoom=100" (without the quotes, zoom can be larger or smaller as appropriate for display in lightbox, file will scroll within lightbox)
Target - Open in Lightbox
Web builder will upload the pdf file if you use the File Publisher object out of the toolbox, added to your page.
Also in lightbox settings i have:
Code: Select all
fixedBgPos:true,
fixedContentPos:true
may not be appropriate for you. I have break points and fixed positioning.
