Google Doc Embedder

Lets you embed MS Office, PDF, and many other file types in a web page using the Google Docs Viewer (no Flash or PDF browser plug-ins required).

Download Version 2.5.6

Google Doc Embedder lets you embed several types of files into your WordPress pages using the Google Docs Viewer - allowing inline viewing (and optional downloading) of the following file types, with no Flash or PDF browser plug-ins required:

  • Adobe Acrobat (PDF)
  • Microsoft Word (DOC/DOCX*)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT/PPTX*)
  • Microsoft Excel (XLS/XLSX*)
  • TIFF Images (TIF, TIFF)
  • Apple Pages (PAGES)
  • Adobe Illustrator (AI)
  • Adobe Photoshop (PSD)
  • Autodesk AutoCad (DXF)
  • Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
  • PostScript (EPS/PS)
  • OpenType/TrueType Fonts (OTF, TTF)
  • XML Paper Specification (XPS)
  • Archive Files (ZIP/RAR)

Similar to services like Scribd, Google Doc Embedder will allow you to embed these files directly into your page or post, not requiring the user to have Microsoft Word, Adobe Reader, PowerPoint, or other software installed to view the contents. Unlike Scribd, the files do not need to be uploaded to any service first - including Google Docs - but can exist anywhere publicly accessible on your site or the internet.

Office XML (2007+) file formats are sometimes problematic with Google Viewer. Please test your documents, and when possible I recommend you use the Office 2003 equivalent formats instead.

Note: Use of this plug-in implies your agreement with Google's published Terms of Service.
