How to Embed a Slideshare in a PDF

Visitors can scroll through the embedded PDF in a frame.

SlideShare is a document-sharing website that you can upload PDFs, presentations and other documents to. You can view the uploaded PDFs on the SlideShare website without a PDF-reading plug-in. You can also embed PDFs from the SlideShare website directly into your blog or personal website. SlideShare provides an HTML embed code that embeds the uploaded document directly into your website. Readers won’t have to load a separate page to view the embedded document.

Instructions

1. Open the SlideShare website at SlideShare.net in your Web browser.

2. Search for the PDF you want to embed on the SlideShare website. You can upload your own PDF by clicking the “Upload” button at the top of the page. Create a SlideShare account to use the upload feature, if you don’t have one.

3. Click the “Embed” option at the top of the PDF document on the SlideShare website.

4. Click the “Customize” link and use the options to customize the size of the embedded PDF and the page you want it to start on.

5. Click the “Copy” link to the right of the “Copy and Paste This Code Into Your Blog or Website” box at the top of the page. If you want to embed the PDF in a WordPress blog hosted at WordPress.com, click the “Copy” button to the right of the “Shortcode for WordPress.com Blogs” box instead. Don’t use the shortcode if you’re using your own WordPress blog hosted elsewhere.

6. Create a new blog post on your blog and paste the embed code into the blog post. Use your blog software’s HTML editor instead of its visual editor if you encounter problems. If you’re not using a blog, paste the code into your Web page’s HTML source code.
