Plugin Description

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

NOTE: Recent changes by Google to their viewer mean that some other plugins may be more suitable:

If this plugin works as you require then feel free to continue to use it, but please do not expect support beyond urgent security fixes. It is not guaranteed that Google will continue to offer or support their Document Viewer.

More about Google Doc Embedder

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.

Supported file formats include:

  • 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)

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.
