Hello, you might are experiencing this error because you haven’t generate the sharable link from Google Drive to embed this PDF file in a webviee component.

- In order to do that, please follow these steps:

- Select the file from Google drive, then click on " Share with others"
- Select “share with anyone”, and then please copy the link and paste it into the webview component.

Thank you!

hie, thank you for your reply; but I have the same error.  
I will descripe all my process, perhaps you will see a mistake :  
I dowload an exceel file with drug’s name and link to download the pdf file (7756 ligns!!)  
I use a macro in excel to download all the file in a folder  
I upload the folder in my google drive  
I use google drive api to create un excel file with name and the download link  
then I upload this file successfully in ma adalo database ( name, url, in a .csv file)  
in the first screen i put a custom list linked with the database, and add action when we click on to link to the second screen, where I put a web view componant  
in the web view componant, I use the magic text to put the current url on.  
And when a try , I receive the error  
In adalo, i use un the first screen 403 , forbidden.  
according to your advice, I go into my google drive and add the property that all file in the folder are accessible to anyone whom have the link.  
I return in my adalo database and check that the links are accessible for everyone.  
I retry in my app, the same error. I delete the screen with the custom list and restart in a new screen, but the same result.  
Hope I will be more clear, but a bit long…sorry
