When visitors open the PDFs I attached with the native WordPress “File” block, everything looks great on desktop, but on phones the page is wider than the screen and forces horizontal scrolling. I have confirmed the problem on several Android and iPhone models. What I need is simple: the embedded PDF should automatically resize so the full page fits inside the mobile viewport, while leaving the existing desktop view untouched. Whether you solve this with a bit of targeted CSS, a small JavaScript snippet, or a lightweight viewer plugin is up to you—the key is that the fix applies to every current and future File block without my having to re-embed files one by one. Deliverables • Responsive behaviour that scales each PDF to 100 % of the mobile screen width, eliminating side-scrolling • Testing proof from at least one Android and one iOS device • A brief note of the code or settings changed so I can maintain the solution later Budget is $10, put 10 in ur offer to make sure u have read the requirements.

Hi there, I understand the issue — PDFs embedded via WordPress File block overflow horizontally on mobile because the default iframe or object embed lacks responsive constraints. This is a common CSS/HTML layout problem, not a plugin or theme conflict. I’ll fix it by applying targeted mobile-first CSS to force the PDF container to scale responsively: setting max-width: 100%, height: auto, and using transform: scale() or iframe width: 100% with overflow: hidden where needed. I’ll also add viewport meta tag validation and test across real iOS and Android devices to ensure no horizontal scroll remains. The fix will be lightweight, non-intrusive, and compatible with your current theme and plugins — no core file edits or external dependencies. Best Regards, Khorshed Alam, RS Software

Hello, I can see the hidden pain point here: the PDFs aren’t just overflowing, they’re breaking the mobile reading flow on every File block. I’ve handled similar WordPress fixes where desktop stayed untouched while mobile embeds were made fully responsive across existing content. I’ll inspect the current File block output, then apply a targeted CSS/JS or lightweight viewer approach so every current and future PDF scales to the viewport automatically without re-embedding each file. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I’ll also verify the result on Android and iPhone behavior, and provide a short note explaining exactly what changed for easy maintenance. Would you prefer the fix to rely on pure CSS/JavaScript, or is a lightweight viewer plugin acceptable if it is more maintainable? Best regards, Asad

Hi, I can fix the viewport overflow by forcing the embedded PDF to respect the container width on mobile, not the other way around. I recently resolved a similar WordPress PDF display issue where the fix needed to work across themes without touching individual embeds. I’d approach this using a targeted CSS rule on the File block container to set overflow: hidden and max-width: 100vw, because it keeps the fix lightweight and future-proof. The biggest improvement will come from isolating the rule to mobile via a media query so desktop behavior stays untouched. I’ll test the change on at least one Android and one iOS device before sending the proof, and include a one-line note with the exact CSS added for your records. This should eliminate the horizontal scroll while keeping maintenance effort minimal. If it looks right to you, I can start right now. Thanks, Denis.

The WordPress File block embeds PDFs in an iframe, and iframes don't inherit responsive sizing by default, so the content just overflows on mobile. That's exactly what you're seeing. I'll add a small CSS snippet targeting the File block's iframe, setting it to 100% width with a responsive aspect ratio on screens below 768px. This keeps your desktop view untouched and automatically applies to every File block, including future ones, no re-embedding needed. One thing worth noting: some mobile browsers won't render PDFs inline at all and instead trigger a download prompt. If that's happening on any of your test devices, I'll wrap it in a lightweight JS-based viewer as a fallback. I'll provide screenshots from both Android and iOS, plus a short doc of exactly what was added and where. Best regards, Shayan
