I have already embedded a slideshow as a PDF and it is in line with the link (I can see it on the page).  However, I would like to resize the width and canvas doesn't seem to allow this.  Could someone help?  I think I did this earlier because one of my slideshows is working great.  Could someone please help?

Thanks

Hello @IbtesamHussain 

Thank you for contacting the Canvas Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with resizing an embedded pdf slideshow. Based on your explanation, you may need to re-embed it or work with HTML to resize it directly. Unfortunately, canvas doesn't have tools for compressing/resizing videos, images, or files. If you're somewhat familiar or can have your school IT help you resize it using HTML this guide will be helpful:

If that doesn't work, you may want to re-embed it and get it to the dimensions you want. Additionally, you could contact Canvas Support directly and ask for any assistance as well. You can contact Canvas Support directly to pinpoint the source of the issue in hopes of providing a resolution:
