I am looking to provide an option of opening and reading the pdf in runtime , and I have been trying with this source (https://virtualbird.de/ue4Doku/HTMLMenu/html/pdf.jsp).
But I’m not able to get the nodes of Load HTML file, load pdf file into viewer .
Suggestions on the same would be of great help!
There is no way to import and read / write to PDF files in Unreal Engine by default. You would need to download a plugin in order to do what wish. Alternatively you can create one yourself if you have experience with C++.
Here are some marketplace resources that could be worth looking into:
- PDF Importer in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace
- Widget Documentation Plugin in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace
- HTML Menus in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace
If you insist on using HTML to read your documents, there is a free plugin: VaRest in Code Plugins - UE Marketplace. This will allow you to upload the PDF online or read it through html and get the nodes you wish.
Note: Your link is broken.

I created two plugins to read and write PDF files from Unreal Engine in runtime. You can find details from here.
