You can use Page Viewer webpart in SharePoint Online for this purpose.

Steps:

  1. Upload the PDF document in any library and copy its URL.
  2. In your SharePoint page, add a Page viewer webpart as Media and Content > Page Viewer
  3. Edit the webpart and add the copied link in Step 1.

Now you will be able to view the embedded PDF as shown below.

There is a different method as well that uses the embed tag.

  1. In your page, add a content editor webpart

  2. Add the below code to embed the PDF

    <object>
    <embed type="application/pdf" src="thesamePDFlocation.PDF" ></embed>
</object>

  • I didn't like the Page Viewer web part, as it gave options for people to download the PDF. I wanted people to view it only, as if it were an image, so I did the embed tag. Thanks!
