Embedding PDFs in Confluence
A PDF attachment is easy to miss: readers have to notice it, download it and open it somewhere else. Embedding it puts the document on the page, where people actually read.
The PDF embed (Capable) macro takes a PDF from one of three places. Pick the guide that matches where your file is.
