When I upload PDF to Google Docs (using Python's gdata library), I get link to the document: >>>e.GetAlternateLink().href Out[14]: 'id=&hl=en' Unfortunately using that link in IFRAME is not working for me because PDF viewer is redirecting to itself, breaking out of IFRAME. Looking for the solution, I've found this: - which looks very nice, but I can't find a way to use it with document uploaded to Google Docs.

Google Docs Viewer. Michael Jackson Dance Stage In 1988 Download. Only files under 25 MB can be previewed with the Google Drive viewer. Google Drive viewer helps you preview over 16 different file types, listed.

Does somebody know how to do it/if it's at all possible? Just for the record - I haven't found any way to force 'internal' google google pdf viewer to not go out of the iframe. And as I mentioned in the question, I found this nice standalone viewer:, that can be used like this: -- but in order to use it you have to publish your PDF to the outside world. This wouldn't be a bad solution, because published document has unique id that is probably harder to guess than a password to google docs account. Unfortunately, even with hottest Google Docs API version 3 API, there seems to be no way of publishing PDF programatically. In the end, I went for a mix of: standalone PDF viewer from google and some other web service that allows to programatically upload and publish PDF.

A bit half-baked solution, but it works well so far.
