Embeddable Google Document Viewer

Google Docs offers an undocumented feature that lets you embed PDF files and PowerPoint presentations in a web page. The files don't have to be uploaded to Google Docs, but they need to be available online.



Here's the code I used to embed the PDF file:

<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>

but you should replace the bold URL with your own address. As I mentioned, the document viewer works for PDF and PPT files.

Some other sites that offer similar features: Zoho Viewer, PdfMeNot.

Update (Sept. 25): The viewer is now available at https://docs.google.com/viewer. You can use it to embed PDF documents, PowerPoint presentations, and TIFF files.

  2. A bit weird that this viewer is not working with Chrome !!!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Scribd does the same, with way more features. But I like the idea that you can keep your files on Google Docs. If only it worked for other filetypes as well...

    ReplyDelete
  4. My Google docs that host my PDFs takes a different format - there is no suffix with .PDF at the end of the URL.

    For example: one document that I would like to share from google docs gives me the following URL:

    http://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B5ImRpiNhCfGZDVhMGEyYmUtZTdmMy00YWEyLWEyMTQtN2E2YzM3MDg3MTZh&hl=en

    Please let me know where I am going wrong.

    Thanks

  5. Great tip. Thanks. Hopefully Google will provide the Embed code of the PDF and PowerPoint files directly in Google Docs.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Great tip, thanks.

    And I'm sure Google will extend the viewer to other file types once Google Docs is able to accept them :-)

    ReplyDelete
  7. Alex,

    Someone found that this may be extended to Chrome with the "--enable-viewer" flag.

  8. Good feature. I'm agree with the other comments.
    Why not a download feature in the viewer? What's a matter between GDocs and the PDFs??? Isn't very pretty to put a link outside the viewer to download the file...
    And please, notice this feature in GDocs and allow other formats, but the PPT/PPS and the spreadsheets already have the embeddable viewer feature, too as an iframe.

    ReplyDelete
  9. @Kevin:

    Yes, I noticed that, but the flag only works for the Chrome OS.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Bright feature.. it will help a lot for easy presentation ...Google is a dad of all with daily upgrades..!

    ReplyDelete
  11. this is good but it is not fully success it need to some optimization

    ReplyDelete
  12. How would people go about to making this content accessible to screen readers? I realise the document probably wont be read by a screen reader, but are their any tips on why this is better than linking externally and adding in the Anchor tag a title saying "This is a link to an external pdf document"?

    What do you all think to that?

    ReplyDelete
  13. Will this work documents that are only available in corporate intranets?

    ReplyDelete
  14. Why the URL to the PDF file is not URL encoded ?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I am missing the download button - there is no reason why you wouldn't someone let it download if he can view it (and even more extract the PDF link from the HTML source).

    ReplyDelete
  16. @Joscha, Fernando:

    You can print/download the document if you click on the "open in new window" button.

    @Lennert:

    The document must be publicly accessible, so that Google can process it.

    ReplyDelete
  17. For print and download, just click the "Open in new window" button in the top right of the embedded object. Download and print options are available in this new window.

    ReplyDelete
  18. i've had this feature for ages now i thought it was for everyone interesting

    ReplyDelete
  19. @Alex Chitu yes, but that's not embedded. It would be nice to have print & save options without having to leave the page (thats the point of embeding the doc) as scribd does.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I agree with the comments above: dedicated 'Print' and 'Save As...' functions -- without opening another window/tab -- should be a must. Otherwise, this is just an interesting toy, without much real-world practicaility. //TB

  21. I tried this out with my own pdf hosted on a public site and it didn't work. Got an error message saying, "Sorry, we are unable to generate a view of the document at this time." I changed the url to a pdf that was cached by Google and it worked. So has anyone managed to get this to work on a pdf that is not cached by Google?

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Anon:

    It should work for most PDF/PPT files available online, even if they aren't indexed by Google. I've just uploaded a PDF file to Google Page Creator and the viewer displayed the file.

    ReplyDelete
  23. For those who want to see download/print links in the viewer, just add &chrome=true to the code.

    http://docs.google.com/gview?url=URL&embedded=true&chrome=true

    ReplyDelete
  24. You have to be logged in to Google. Annoying?

    ReplyDelete
  25. No, you don't have to be logged in to Google. It wouldn't make any sense and the embedded viewer would be useless.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I want a pony too! Jesus, it's free people. If you want it to have different features go build your own.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Anon who likes a pony: Ok, it`s free, we just post some suggestions, may we?
    Alex Chitu: Thanks for your orientation. Good work :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. It may be free - but how about animated page turning?

    Google doc viewer doesn't cut the mustard for me (yet). I'd be much happier with the free offering from www.issuu.com.

    ReplyDelete
  29. How to set this so that we don't need to specify the width and height, instead, use all the screen available.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Is it possible to refer it to a particular page? Do you can link to different parts within a PDF?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Issuu.com does the job and gives you a beautiful reading experience. And it is free... Ü

    ReplyDelete
  32. Issuu.com and Scribd.com are great, but there are two downsides:

    - they use Flash-based viewers, which are slower and might crash your browser
    - you need to create an account and upload the files before embedding them, much like for YouTube. Google's viewer is a general-purpose solution for the files already available online.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Google has seemed to index the pdf. I cannot update the pdf in the reader without changing the pdf to a new and unique name on my site server. I've tried different browsers and clearing the cache.

    Any thoughts out there?

    ReplyDelete
  34. It would be great if there was a print icon/text on the toolbar instead of having to open it in a new window.

    ReplyDelete
  35. This viewer don't work in Internet Explorer 8. In status bar: Wait: https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?....... And IE try and try to connect...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Does anyone know if there is a size limit on the files? I am trying to post a .ppt that is about 3.8 MB, and the viewer gets to about 50%, stops, and gives me the message that "we are unable to retrieve the document."

    ReplyDelete
  37. i think i'll stick with adobe for the moment, tho this feature could prove useful in developing web applications

    ReplyDelete
  38. i have for example this link
    http://delo.si/plugins/pedition/widgets/showpdfpage.php?date=20090921&pub=Delo&page=1
    In real it's pdf but genarated with php, but this Embeddable Google Document Viewer recognize it us unknown file ...it would be much better that it would also allowed liks like this

    iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://page.com/papers/index.php?&exportfile=myfile.pdf&embedded=true&TYPE=PDF"
    style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"

    or. can be this problem solved on any other solution?

    ReplyDelete
  39. will there be some javascript API for this Doc viewer?
    So that u can for example - api.setPage, api.setFullscreen etc...
    Like Scribd has

    ReplyDelete
  40. how to modify zoom, page number, view thumb on the left, etc.? Where I found the api section about it? thanks

  41. please let there be an api where you can send search and page parameters???? pretty please!

    ReplyDelete
  42. What if I have some privacy documents I don't want to be publicly available?

    Is there a way to disable indexing/caching of such documents by Google SE ?

    ReplyDelete
  43. I like it, it works fine. But i hav a question: is there a way to have just the viewer with no control buttons at the top ( page, zoom, fullpage, etc ), is there a code for that?
    Thanks

  44. not working in ie6

    ReplyDelete
  45. today i gave the german looky-look.net - flapdf a try.
    this seems to be pretty fast and flexible and for free.
    i worry, it is not opensource, but though i use their swf now, which is cooler than my previous pdf viewer..
    here's their demo for any pdf URL of your choice and a german tutorial on how to implement it easily (one line ^^ in source code) can be found at where it says [flapdf][2].

    i tried with bigger pdfs and it still seems to run fast although the free-version comes without caching.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Not working in IE8. The embedded pdf doesnt open in IE8. Try opening this same page in IE8. What could be the bug?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Thanks for posting this. Exactly what I was looking for!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Seems there's an annoying bug that prevents from viewing PDFs with spaces (%20) in the filename.

    ReplyDelete
  49. To load a specific page in the document, all you need to do is add a hash to the end of the embedded URL.

    Page IDs are numbered sequentially like this: :0.page.0, :0.page.2, :0.page.3...

    So to load page 15 of the document shown above, just use this:

    http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&embedded=true#:0.page.14

  50. Once the file is embedded there doesn't seem to be any way to change it. Google must cache the file. If I upload an updated PDF the viewer continues to show the old file. Anyone find a way to fix this or to force Google to reindex?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Having issues with the embedded viewer in Internet Explorer IE8 & IE7. What could be the issue!?

    I get an red X that makes it unable to display image - Anyone know what could be causing this?! I thought it was the PDf generation, so I updated the pdf to Google Docs and then redownloaded it and am still having the issue.

    Thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Great feature but I get a security warning if I try to embed the viewer into a secure web page (https://). I think the culprit is a non-secure reference to http://csi.gstatic.com/csi in the gview_local_gview_base_mod.js javascript file. Any plans to fix this or any workarounds?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Works on firefox and IE8.It also Opens MS Word documents (DOC files).Got to try more file types.
    Its better avoiding file names with spaces.

    I am searching for javascript alternatives.There are document viewers like vuzit that displays dozens of formats.But it isnt so easy to use as google docs.
    Anyway, long live google.

    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Docs/thread?tid=22d92671afd5b9b7&hl=en

    by user rbnunes, to make the viewer work with IE, Google should add a Compact Privacy Policy to the viewer (http://compactprivacypolicy.org). If confirmed, we should press Google to do so very soon.

    2. You can force google to load documents without caching by referencing the filename with a random number, like so:

      http://link.to/file.pdf?1234

      Change "1234" to another number (such as the date) to force the refresh. If you generate the link via PHP, as I do, I add a "%3F".time() to the file name to make it always load the most current version.

  93. Google post login screen automatically requiring users to log in to the site. For analytics and security, this is excellent. Google recognizes your IP and only displays the log in to the unknown user.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Sorry, we are unable to retrieve the document for viewing or you don't have permission to view the document.
    Please try again later.

    I get this message every time I try to use the link above (https://docs.google.com/viewer). It generates the code, and I click 'view now' to test it, and the message appears. I have tried ignoring it and embedding it but it won't work. I have tried it with various formats from all over the web including Google Docs (my own account) that are open to the public. Strangely, when I copy and paste the code at the top of this page, it works. I'm tearing my hair out. Any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  95. Just a note about how the docs are cached, once you update (overwrite) your PDF, the old (cached) version will still be displayed. I found a work around that seems to work though.

    In PHP, add a to the end of the document name. This will ensure the newest version is always seen. (you can manually add something like ?0001 to the end as well and simply change it each time you upload the doc.)

    End result is something like http://example.com/my_document.pdf?0001

    and when updated use something like
    http://example.com/my_document.pdf?0002

    Or simply randomize with php to get something like
    http://example.com/my_document.pdf?a120152c5f82b94e032b66bf2a687827

    You will still see the same document, but the filename will be different and Google will re-download the new document.

    Hope this helps!

    Cheers,
    Josh

  134. Chrome was blocking the PDF because the iframe's src attribute loaded docs.google.com over http rather than https. Changing the protocol in the source worked though.

  137. Good feature. I'm agree with the other comments.
    Why not a download feature in the viewer? What's a matter between GDocs and the PDFs??? Isn't very pretty to put a link outside the viewer to download the file...
    And please, notice this feature in GDocs and allow other formats, but the PPT/PPS and the spreadsheets already have the embeddable viewer feature, too as an iframe.
