Trouble with URL Shortcode when executing from template

    I am using a custom post type to display documents using Google Doc Embedder.

    I’m passing the document URL into a variable called $document and echoing it out. It echoes the URL fine.

    When I try to plug the URL into the shortcode function, though, it drops the file name from the URL. I can’t figure it out.

    I have an example here: http://ideabasekent.com/staging/slo/production/documents/test-document-2/

    Here’s the code I’m using:

    <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
			<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
			<?php the_field('document_description'); ?>
			<?php if( get_field('document_file_upload') ):?>
				<?php $document = the_field('document_file_upload');?>
				<?php echo $document; ?>
				<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gview file=" '. $document .' " ]' ); ?>
			<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

    In case anyone runs into this, I figured it out. I changed the code to:

    <?php if( get_field('document_file_upload') ):?>
				<?php $document = get_field('document_file_upload');?>
				<?php echo do_shortcode( '[gview file="'.$document.'"]' ); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
