		<title>Embeddable Google Document Viewer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google Docs offers an undocumented feature that lets you embed PDF files and PowerPoint presentations in a web page. The files don&#8217;t have to be uploaded to Google Docs, but they need to be available online.

Here&#8217;s the code I used to embed the PDF file:
&#60;iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&#38;embedded=true" style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"&#62;&#60;/iframe&#62;
