Scribd
Download links are great, but embedding and publishing an actual document into a post or
page may be much more valuable to you and your readers.

Using Scribd

Do you want to embed a PDF file quickly and easily? See

Embedding a PDF File.

Using Scribd

To get started, first create a Scribd account at http://www.scribd.com/. Scribd offers a 30-day
free trial when you sign up. You do not need to be a paying member to access the document upload
features. 

You can then continue with the following steps:

1. Once you have created and activated your account, log in and click on the Upload button
in your navigation.
2. Select the file or files you would like to upload, or drag them into the upload window.

Note: Scribd suggests that uploads should be 75MB or smaller to be able to embed them.
If your file is larger, you will have to optimize the document so that it is less than 75MB.

3. When the upload is complete a screen will appear where you can change options for the
document. You must include a title and description.
4. When you’ve added the details, click Save & Continue in the bottom right corner, and
you’ll be given some sharing options. Choose Embed.
5. Underneath the embed window, click the WordPress option and copy the resulting
shortcode:

6. Paste that shortcode into the editor for any post or page. If you are using the block editor,
you can add a shortcode to any page or post using a shortcode block.

The embed will look like this in your post or page:
