How to get color back in googledocembedded pdf's ?

Mike,

This is an outage in Google Viewer, which GDE embeds. I’ve been trying to pursue a fix or answer in the Google Drive forums but typically Google is nonresponsive. If you have any contacts that might further that discovery I’d strongly encourage it.

GDE embeds the viewer service found here:

https://docs.google.com/viewer

While it doesn’t work here, it won’t work in GDE, either.

https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29170744/FAQ%2520Eng%2520Adding%2520picture%2520%2520to%2520your%2520profile.pdf

Hopefully a fix is forthcoming.

It’s a problem with google docs, not the plugin.

Fortunately, this plugin isn’t even needed (sorry, mr. developer).

You can just embed an iframe in wordpress anyway, so it can display the PDF directly.

This is a very old thread. Thanks for randomly resurrecting it. ??

You are correct that the plugin isn’t needed to embed the basic viewer. GDE adds convenience and other options like automatic download links and custom styling options. Feel free not to use it if you’re not interested in these features! Kind of think that goes without saying.
