I am trying to embed a company PowerPoint presentation into an intranet website and am having some issues. I tried converting to pdf and embedding it with this html:
<object data="myFile.pdf" type="application/pdf" width='100%' height="8000px">
<p>It appears you don't have a PDF plugin for this browser.You can <a href="myFile.pdf">click here to
download the PDF file.</a></p>
</object>
but there is a link in the ppt that stops linking correctly somehow. So I tried converting to an htm page and doing a javascript redirect to that page but I get a page that just says my browser doesnt have the correct plugin to open the pdf.
And unfortunately, being a company project, we aren't allowed to use commercially available cloud storage (ie: Google Docs, Onedrive, etc.) for security and privacy purposes. Are there other ways to embed the powerpoint, not using 3rd party software?

I want to display my PDF files on my web page.
This is my code which works perfectly my computers browser but id does not display in mobile's chrome shows the message
plugin not supported
this is my code
<embed src="http://health.ntuh.gov.tw/health/NTUH_e_Net/NTUH_e_Net_no91/%E7%99%8C%E7%97%87%E7%AF%A9%E6%AA%A2.pdf" type="application/pdf" />
You can use Google Drive PDF viewer with Object data
ex.
<object data="https://drive.google.com/viewerng/viewer?embedded=true&url=http://health.ntuh.gov.tw/health/NTUH_e_Net/NTUH_e_Net_no91/%E7%99%8C%E7%97%87%E7%AF%A9%E6%AA%A2.pdf" type="application/pdf">

</object>
PDF must be a download to browsing device So Some browsers can display with their pdf extension and some may not have such a pdf extender.
Users can set their own PDF preferences like display or not display after download or use a different PDF extender.
Embed is not the preferred method for serving a PDF, the most preferred method is text or a thumbnail cover / image icon with <a href=file.pdf download> click to download whole file</a> this reduces the load on the server (reduced cost like Amazon / book sites)
 
2nd best is one iFrame on a page Below on Right (more than one means multiple downloads.)
Finally an Embed (Object is a method to be avoided as now depreciating / not good) See your Embed in an Object Above Left
<object width="900" height="900" data="https://docs.google.com/gview?embedded=true&url=http://example.com/mydoc.pdf"></object>
I embed PDF on my site using the above code. The GoogleBot does not "see" the pdf embedded. The page has no other visual content on it except a link to download the same PDF. I want the bot to read the PDF and want the page to show up in SERP.
Will it work? If not, what are the options?
We are able to add Youtube, Sway and Office Mix content using the "Online Videos" ribbon command in OneNote 2016 with Class Notebook Add-in which are played in place when a user accesses them.
We want to be able to do the same and embed iframes of external content via OneNote Class Notebook or Notebook API but couldn't find any documentation for the same.
Please help with the HTML/XML tags/markup to use to do the same.
You can do this via the POST or PATCH ~/pages API by adding the following iframe component in the html request body.
NOTE: This is an example only:
<iframe width="600" height="338" data-original-src="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-BOSpxYJ9M"></iframe>
The important part is to specify the data-original-src attribute. And note this is the original url of the video (not the embed url e.g. the url fetched in sites like youtube from clicking Share).
I have the code below which is a perfect solution to what I need, which would essentially be embedding any of JPG, GIF, PNG or PDF files in my webpages. It works perfectly in PC browsers, but a critical requirement for the pages is to have them compatible in mobile browsers due to its target users.
<iframe src="uploads/test1.pdf" width="auto" height="auto"> </iframe>
Although image files work fine, PDF files are opened separately in the mobile browser and not embedded inline in the web page. What would be an alternative solution or implementation to this?
You can use PDFJs library. Using just JS you can render pdf files.
Please , check here : https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/
One simple option is that the the object element provides a fallback, so you can do:
<object data='some.pdf'>
<p>Oops! Your browser doesn't support PDFs!</p>
<p>Download Instead</p>
</object>
Then, when the mobile browser can't get the item, it'll just show this and you'll be all set, kinda.
Here is my solution to this problem.
<object data="mypdf.pdf" type="application/pdf" frameborder="0" width="100%" height="600px" style="padding: 20px;">
<embed src="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CRFdbp6uBDE-YKJFaqRm4uy9Z4wgMS7H/preview?usp=sharing" width="100%" height="600px"/>
</object>
Explanation:
<object> tag has a feature that when it is unable to load item, it loads the content inside itself i.e tag.
Since object tag cannot load on mobile view, therefore on mobile devices, embed tag will become active.
Q) Why can't we directly use tag for all cases?
You can actually, but since the embed tag is loading file from
drive, it does not gives any user controls for the pdf that we see
with object tag (zoom, page no., etc.). So our code will give the user pdf view controls atleast in the desktop mode instead of not giving any controls at all.
Q) Direct drive links don't work....so why this solution?
In the above google drive URL, view is changed to preview.
drive.google.com/file/d/1CRFdbp6uBDE-YKJFaqRm4uy9Z4wgMS7H/view?usp=sharing
becomes,
drive.google.com/file/d/1CRFdbp6uBDE-YKJFaqRm4uy9Z4wgMS7H/preview?usp=sharing
So, we can make direct drive links work with this little modification
Google Docs viewer offers a feature, that lets you embed PDF files and PowerPoint presentations on a web page.
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:100%; height:650px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
replace the URL(http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf) with your own address, It's worked for me but it takes more time to load on
src:http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2009/09/embeddable-google-document-viewer.html?utm_source=pocket_mylist
The only way I have found, which allows you to embed pdf is using Google drive, then select the menu button once you have opened your file, and select get embed code, you can only use a Google drive or Google docs reference. And you must also turn public sharing on otherwise others won't be able to view it without permission.
Using Adobe PDF Embed API solved my problem.
Adobe PDF Embed API
I ran into the same issue. As a new developer, I wasn't aware that mobile browsers have issues embedding PDF files in iframes. I am now... lol
I racked my resources trying to get this to work when it dawned on me that mobile browsers do not have an issue displaying PNG files in a new window. So, in my infinite wisdom, I opened the PDF files in Gimp 2.0 then exported them as PNG files. And then I created buttons for the user to click and now it opens the graphic instead of trying to embed the PDF.
Looks like this:
<input class="AG" id="UnityBtn" type="button" value="Unity" onclick="location.href='../Meeting_Info/Unity.png'" />
I don't know if this is possible for you, but it worked beautifully for me.
Use an object tag with a iframe tag inside your object tags.
The object data can be a pdf or png file by changing the type and can use any link you want stored wherever, however the I frame is the one which will be loaded for mobiles which has to be a link from Google drive or Google docs you also need to allow the files to be shared public otherwise others won't be able to view them.
I would share the code but this site has some rubbish rules about code and won't let me share them so I'll leave you to Google how object and iframe tags work by viewing better sites that actually wants the help from developers.
Have fun guys!
Is there any way to embed a PowerPoint slide show in an HTML page using just the standard tags etc? I tried using a iframe, but that just results in the PowerPoint being downloaded.
<iframe src="Chapter1.pptx">Your browser does not support.</iframe>
I am looking for a way to show the slide show using only standard stuff. I realize I could use google docs or flash or something, but I'd rather have a simple implementation.
Does the web just not know how to process a PowerPoint presentation?
Plain and simple...this is the best method to embed any Microsoft or Adobe file into a HTML website.
<iframe src='https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx?src=[https://www.your_website/file_name.pptx]' width='100%' height='600px' frameborder='0'>
Just to update this question - as there is a new way to embed Powerpoints in a web page. If you have an account on OneDrive, do the following using Powerpoint Online (accessing Powerpoint via the browser) to embed a Powerpoint:
Click 'File', then 'Share', then 'Embed'
Click the 'Generate' button to generate HTML code to be embedded
Copy the 'Embed Code' and paste it in the HTML of a website
Web browsers don't understand power point, but there are solutions besides Flash.
You could export it to HTML or a PDF. Or you could also upload to site like slideshare and make use of their players which are built for this problem.
I have decided to take a hack route and upload the powerpoint onto YouTube and then just include the youtube video in the iframe.
<iframe height="375" width="600" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/assignedId"></iframe>
I know, it's cheap, but it's also easy.
EDIT
I eventually checked my page as XHTML Strict, which does not support the <iframe> tag. So I used the object tag instead.
<object data="http://www.youtube.com/embed/assignedId">
I tried answer posted by Shane, which looks exactly right and how MS used to have PPT viewing online earlier but it didn't worked for me. After doing some research I found out that the link has changed a bit.
So use:
https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx instead of https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/embed.aspx
Example:
<iframe src='https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=[https://www.your_website/file_name.pptx]' width='100%' height='600px' frameborder='0'>
Note: Link to PPT need to be publicly accessible.
Use Microsoft skydrive, upload your power point to this site and use this code
where
http://skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?cid=20f065afc1acdb2e&page=view&resid=20F065AFC1ACDB2E!723&parid=20F065AFC1ACDB2E!719 is the URL of the powerpoint file.
You have to replace SD20F065AFC1ACDB2E!723 for your own string of the corresponding URL
Upload a PowerPoint document on your Google Drive and then 'Share' it with everyone (make it public):
Sharing your pptx doc
Then, go to File > Publish to the web > hit the publish button.
Go to Embed and copy the embed code and paste it to your web page
Copy embed code
Works Best for me.
Goto MS View Office Documents Online Page
Enter link to PPT file
Note: This link should be publicly Accessible
Click on Create URL.
Link to view office documents online will be generated.
Paste this link to any webpage or as iframe src attribute.
You are all set!! :)
If you are using Google slides you could easily publish it on the web and also embed the slide in an iframe.
Go to google slides -> file-> sharing -> embed and copy the code
and then in your HTML file use the below code to show slides in fullscreen mode.
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/journey.css">
</head>
<body>
<!-- show slides in html web page -->
<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PAxxxxxCX-xxxxxxxx-_GuZImZqRUxxxxxxxxxx/embed?start=true&loop=false&delayms=3000" frameborder="0" width="1440" height="839" allowfullscreen="true" mozallowfullscreen="true" webkitallowfullscreen="true"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
why not use prezi, I just use it in my work, very easy and useful.
I was able to do this by saving the PPT as an mp4 (Save As > MPEG-4 Video (*.mp4)) and then using the video tag.
<video controls autoplay preload="none" style="width:1000px;">
<source src="/_dev/power_point/m11983.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
<p>Your browser does not support HTML5 Video.</p>
