Embedded File Viewer

Google Docs offers an undocumented feature that lets you embed PDF files and PowerPoint presentations in a web page. The files don't have to be uploaded to Google Docs, but they need to be available online.

Google Drive Viewer: Explicit PDF files

<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://infolab.stanford.edu/pub/papers/google.pdf&embedded=true" style="width:600px; height:500px;" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Google Drive Viewer: Non-PDF files (fileviewer URL)

To view Google Drive docs from fileviewer links, use the file ID as the srcid attribute in the iframe.

The file ID for your PDF (one that is already in Google Drive) can be found in the PDFs web address. When you open a PDF, it’s the garbage-looking piece of the URL (it will be between forward-slashes, “/”).

The file ID is highlighted in yellow.

In this case it’s the 0B3xoQi_oa7_hU2J5S1RQbFdqS3c

It's for public document, you need to make the document URL public, cannot use with streaming as in base 64 format as example.

It's not good in case for confidential document. Just a remark.
