Google Doc Embedder WordPress Plugin
Lets you embed PDF, MS Office, and many other file types in a web page using the free Google Docs Viewer (no Flash or PDF browser plug-ins required).
Google Doc Embedder lets you embed several types of files into your WordPress pages using the free Google Docs Viewer - allowing inline viewing (and optional downloading) of a wide range of popular file types, with no Flash or PDF browser plug-ins required.
NOTE: Recent changes by Google to their viewer mean that some other plugins may be more suitable in some cases:
- If you are able to store your files in Google Drive, try the Google Drive Embedder plugin. This will be faster to display, and more reliable.
- To make it difficult for users to download the full PDF (the old 'enhanced mode'), please find out more about
