Google Doc Embedder is a plug-in for WordPress (2.8+) that lets you embed multiple file types in a web page using the Google Docs Viewer (no Flash or Adobe browser plug-ins required).

Similar to services like Scribd, Google Doc Embedder will allow you to embed MS Office, PDF, PSD, TIFF, SVG, and multiple other file types directly into your page or post, not requiring the user to have 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 Documents – but can exist anywhere accessible on your site or the internet.

Currently supported file types:

  • Adobe PDF
  • Microsoft Word (DOC/DOCX)
  • Microsoft PowerPoint (PPT/PPTX)
  • Microsoft Excel (XLS/XLSX)
  • TIFF Images
  • Apple Pages (PAGES)
  • Adobe Illustrator (AI)
  • Adobe Photoshop (PSD)
  • Autodesk AutoCad (DXF)
  • Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG)
  • PostScript (EPS/PS)
  • TrueType (TTF)
  • XML Paper Specification (XPS)
  • Archive Files (ZIP/RAR)
