Use Google to Easily Embed PDFs and PPTs

A neat hack of sorts comes our way via Google Operating System. Apparently you can utilize Google Docs to embed PDFs and PowerPoint presentations online. They files don’t have to be hosted on Google Docs, but do have to be available online.

As a test-run I tried it on a PDF of my portfolio at the top of this post. Hit the link to check out the code snippet you need to use. The only downside I see is that the document doesn’t completely load during the “loading” portion, making it show up blurry and skewed for a couple seconds. Other than that it’s really easy to take advantage of, and is something I’m sure all designers will be able to utilize at some point.
