How to Embed PDF and Other Documents in Blogger Posts
As a blogger, you might need to share or add some quick information to your readers through PDF files or other documents like Spreadsheets, PowerPoint Slides, Excel Spreadsheets, Microsoft Words docs, etc.
And if you are using Blogger platform for blogging like me, then uploading or adding PDF files or other types of documents is still not supported.
So, uploading documents or PDF files for Blogger users is not possible?
Yes! It's absolutely possible using Google Drive.
Google Drive is probably the most reliable and the easiest way to embed your PDF files and other documents on your blog posts, or on the sidebars.
Google Drive offers you with 15 GB of free storage, and also has paid plan which is optional. You can upload your files and folders up to 5 TB in size and also can change the privacy settings for your private files and folders, including which files or folders or contents you want to make public.
