Setting up the Google Doc Embedder Plugin
The Google Doc Embedder Plugin is preinstalled on all Basic, Premium and Premium Plus Websites. This plugin allows you to display a PDF document (newsletters etc) directly on your website. It is extremely simple to use. You will upload your document to the website, then simply add a small piece of code and your document is ready to go.
How to Use the Plugin
If you would like to embed a document directly into your website like a PTA Newsletter, etc, it is very simple to do. The code to embed a document is as follows:
[ gview file=”http://full-path.to/file.pdf” ]
! Note: Please remove extra spacing around brackets – this is for display purposes only.
Step 2: Click SELECT FILES to locate the PDF on your computer
Select the Color that works best for your theme in the drop down list.
Step 3: Copy the URL (address) of the File
Once your document has been uploaded, COPY the FILE URL listed at the bottom of the page.
Step 4: Paste the Code
Head to the Page or New Post you want to embed your document and type in the following code:
[ gview file=”PASTE THE URL HERE” ]
(please note that there should not be spaces before and after the [ & ] symbols.)
Be sure to publish your page and you are all done.
