Description
Will embed a PDF file using Google Docs Viewer
Simply include the URL for a PDF document on it’s own line, or wrapped in the embed tag like [embed]http://example.com/file.pdf[/embed] and the plugin will embed the PDF into the page using the Google Docs Viewer embed code.
The url must end with .pdf
Supported attributes in the embed tag are class id title height and width

How can I change the size of the PDF viewer?
If you want to change the default size of media embedded in a post, that can be done in the admin interface under Settings ⇒ Media Settings ⇒ Embeds
If you’d just like to change the size of one instance, you can use the standard attributes of the WordPress embed shortcode.
[embed width="400" height="600"]http://example.com/document.pdf[/embed]
I have an idea for a great way to improve this plugin
Great! I’d love to hear from you.
