If you’re using PDF files on your WordPress blog, it could be very cool to give your users the chance to open them using Google Docs. The following recipe will show you how you can do that.

The first step is to paste the following code into your functions.php file:

View Code PHP
1
2
3
4

function pdflink($attr, $content) {
	return '<a class="pdf" href="http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=' . $attr['href'] . '">'.$content.'</a>';
}
add_shortcode('pdf', 'pdflink');

Once you saved the file, you’ll be able to use the shortcode on your posts and page at your backend. Here is the syntax:

View Code PHP
1

[pdf href="http://yoursite.com/linktoyour/file.pdf"]View PDF[/pdf]

Here in given below figure, “View PDF” link is displaying which was added at wordpress backend post by using above code.When clicking on “View PDF”, you will be able to see a pdf file in google doc.
