Hey , I am trying to add and activate PDF in my tutor local using [IONISx/xblock-pdf: Course component (Open edX XBlock) that provides an easy way to embed a PDF (github.com)](https://github.com/IONISx/xblock-pdf) Already added to config.yml - name: ‘git+https://github.com/IONISx/xblock-pdf.git@v1.0.0#egg=xblock-pdf’ In Settings \> Advanced Settings \> advanced module is added “pdf” What next because on my studio still is no PDF/Advanced button . Any clues ? ---

Which version of tutor are you using? The xblock seems to be quite old and also there is some change in the way of adding additional pip requirements in the config.yml file. ```yaml OPENEDX_EXTRA_PIP_REQUIREMENTS: - git+https://github.com/IONISx/xblock-pdf.git@v1.0.0#egg=xblock-pdf ``` This is how we add it now in recent versions of tutor (we use tutor version Palm). ---

Yes, I am using newer xblocks with this method and is working fine. For example, you can try the h5pxblock. ---
