Procedure to display the contents of the pdf documents by embedding them directly in a web page
Until now, the pdfs would be uploaded to some common file sharing network , and the link to the pdf would be specified in the web page. The person whoever wishes to read, has to download the pdf to his system
Not anymore... now you can show the contents of the pdf right inside your blog / webpage. Surprised.. below you will see a pdf document that I have created as a test document and its content displayed for all of you to see ( without downloading). Use the slider near the ZOOM tool to get a closer look and the HAND tool to drag the page.
This is now possible with the help of services from http://www.scribd.com. Not only with pdfs, Scribd allows us to upload and publish documents in other formats also (check out their FAQ) You can also customize the document for private - public viewing, Allow - disallow printing, Allow-disallow comments, and even more.. Just explore and you get to know better.
Its simple and easy to attach this widget into your blog template.. just follow the instructions closely;
- Register with http://www.scribd.com
- Look for a link that says UPLOAD
- You may upload a document from your Hard Drive (or) specify the URL of the document
- Once upload is completed, it will start converting , so that your document is embedded in a flash player ( which is used in the webpage)
- Depending on the number of previous documents in queue, this might take some time
- Once the conversion is completed, you just have to click on the file to see it on Scribd
- On the LeftHand side of the document page ( in scribd), you will see various options to share the file
- There is also an Embed Option ( You may not see this immediately after the file upload.. I had to wait for abt 12 hrs to see the embed code... so just upload the files one day ahead of schedule, to be on the safer side)
- You may copy paste the Embed code to your blog to show the pdf
- The Advanced option allows you to change the height and width of the display area.. so that you may modify it suit the appearance of your blog / website
- Thats it... you have the embed code.. now all you need to do is Copy paste the code at the appropriate position in your blog for your friends to see
