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.

Since the time I started writing code in bits and pieces, I always dreamed of creating at-least one major open source project. Although the Open Source conceptually still revolves more around GNU/Linux or like operating system, I personally feel that any piece of code released with its complete source code for general public usage can be broadly categorized as Open Source. For me, it simply gives me pride of being usable to someone whom you don’t even know. Its a blissful feeling to check your mail after days work to find appreciation notes, comments and suggestions on some plugin or widget you have developed.
This post is a small thanks giving note to all those you downloaded my WordPress plugins – Flash Photo Gallery and WP Web Scraper. In all these have received about 6,000 downloads in just about 5 months! Thanks for all your comments, suggestions, bug notifications and Donations!

So. I’m officially here. In the blogosphere. Finally.
I struggled with what would be my first official post. It should be prolific after all this time, right? Grand in nature. Broad in scope. So, I struggled. And then I realized it’s just like walking into a room full of people you’ve never met – I’ll introduce myself to you. It seems like the most polite thing to do, right?
First an introduction for the unfamiliar. Web design and development (Web.D) is what I have been doing for a while now. Am sure most of you are not aware of this layer of me, but what the heck… some of you might not even be knowing me. So lets start from the scratch. I am Akshay Raje, a self thought freelance web designer and developer. I love travel and am a great movie buff too. Apart from the above, I try to spend the rest available time with my wife and also try to squeeze out of whatever time’s left for the Gym. Read further »
