From what we gathered, it seems to be a rendering / loading / overloading issue: Too many instances of pdf.js try to be loaded at the same time causing timeouts and other weird behavior. I see two possibilities: 1. Limit the number of PDFs that can be embedded on a page 2. Load PDF blocks progressively one after the other I don't know if the second option would mitigate the problem or not. The first one could be limiting user's creativity, but would prevent endless waiting for a page to load with the content. Further insight is needed before a final decision can be made on how to continue from here.
