How to read PDF online with the site reader

Open PDFs in the browser: document library, search, speech, and OCR — an overview of the reader.

Prefer not to install a separate PDF app? The online reader opens documents in the browser, keeps them in a library, and unlocks extra tools.

When it helps

Useful for quick viewing, finding text, listening to pages, or OCRing scans. The reader lives in your dashboard and needs an account with reader access enabled.

How to use the tool

  1. Open the reader promo page via the link below.
  2. Sign up or sign in — once reader access is enabled, the reader opens in your dashboard.
  3. Upload a PDF to the library or open a saved document.
  4. Browse pages and use search and toolbar tools.
  5. Enable speech or OCR for scans when needed.

Tip. For heavy scans, rotate and compress with site tools first — the reader stays snappier.
