Adding Articles/PDF essays to Readymag?

Hi all!

I’m working on building my portfolio on Readymag and want to add a page where I can add some academic writing work. Things like research papers, critical writing, essays, etc.

What I want to avoid:

  • Adding direct text on the page as formatting would not be clean/easy, and some of my papers are 25+ pages long including images/graphs. (unless there is a way to format it to look like a nice article).
  • Common Ninja PDF widget, because I don’t like the visual look of the widget frame as it does not match my portfolio at all.
  • A page with a bunch of buttons or links that redirect people to another site like Google Drive or Dropbox.
  • Do not want them to be downloadable or auto-download on click.

What I am looking for:

  • A page where there are little cards (think online shopping) with a summary/preview of what it is, and it expands or goes to a new page with the full writing upon click? Very clean looking and easy to scroll the written pages. Similar to when you view a long PDF and you can scroll, see the page breaks, zoom in if you want, highlight text, add images/graphs.
  • A page with horizontal preview options (think Substack) that has title, summary/brief of what it is, and it also expands or goes to new page upon click.
  • Easy, clean, and simple way to include writing work to my page. Main page with previews of each piece of writing work that are clickable, and then maybe expands or goes to a new page where the writing work is the main thing on the page, easy scrolling through pages, much like an article on a website.

I apologize that this is so specific, and also apologize if this has been asked before/has an easy solution. I am fairly new to Readymag and sadly was not able to find any answers online. Thank you in advance for any tips, assistance, or advice!!!

What about embedding the PDFs directly via iframes?
