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

Installation

  1. Upload dirtysuds-embed-pdf to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate DirtySuds – Embed PDF through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. That’s it. Now when you embed a PDF using the WordPress [embed] shortcode, the plugin will embed the document using the Google Docs viewer

Installation Instructions

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.
