How to Add PDF Search to Your Webflow Site
Sparks Simple embeds in your Webflow site in Under 5 minutes. No coding required.
Why it matters
Why add PDF search to your Webflow site?
Visitors on Webflowsites expect to find information fast. If you’re hosting PDFs — guides, contracts, menus, manuals, resource libraries — a search widget lets them find exactly what they need without downloading anything or sending you an email.
Sparks Simple gives your Webflow site an embeddable search widget that indexes your PDFs and returns instant, full-text results — right on your page. Clients and visitors stay on your site, find what they need, and stop calling your office asking for documents they should already have.
No portal. No login required from visitors. No custom development. Just paste one line of code.

Webflow tip
The Embed element is available on all Webflow paid plans. You will see a placeholder box in the Designer — the widget only renders after publishing or using the preview mode. Place the Embed element inside a Section or Div Block and set a min-height if needed.
