Document Embedding Guide for WIX By Colby Butler, edocr Software Engineer May 23, 2017 - In 1990, the world was introduced to a technological innovation that would ultimately reshape the world in fundamental ways. Culture, politics, business, technology, education; all of these aspects of daily human life have been drastically changed by the introduction of the Internet and the World Wide Web. The ability to share information has always been an important aspect of human society and the Internet dramatically expanded the ability to both share and find knowledge. The edocr team has been especially focused on helping people share documents and information quickly and easily. To that end, we've implemented a new feature to make the sharing process even easier One of the problems with sharing information over the Internet is compatibility. PDF has become the de facto standard document format used to bridge the physical and digital divide. We've introduced a new way to share your edocr documents on the web. We'd like to introduce you to edocr document embedding. How to embed an edocr document ● Open your favorite browser and head on over to our site: edocr.com. If you’re already logged in to the site, you should see the name of your user profile in the top-right corner of the page. ● If you don’t see your profile name in the top right corner of the page, you need to login to your edocr account. Click on the “Log In” button to log in to edocr. If you don’t have an edocr account, you can create one for free by clicking on the “Sign Up” button or by clicking here. ● Once you’ve logged in, you can upload a document by clicking on the orange ”Upload” button at the top of the page. ● Once your document has been uploaded, you are taken directly to your document page where you can see your document in our feature-rich document viewer. ● To the right of the viewer, you will see a menu with profile and document information. Click the "Embed" button in the right-side menu to expand a list of code snippets. These are the code snippets that you can use to embed your document on your site. Clicking on the icon next to a text-box will copy the corresponding text into your clipboard. You can choose from the four following types of embed options: ● Default Viewer - This option will allow you to embed our document viewer on your site displaying the edocr document of your choice ● Follow Profile - This option is similar to the Default Viewer but adds a button beneath the viewer that allows visitors to your site to “subscribe” to your edocr profile page. Once subscribed, the visitor will receive notification via email whenever documents are added to your profile page. ● Follow Collection - This option is also similar to the Default Viewer but adds a button beneath the viewer that allows visitors to your site to “subscribe” to the document collection that contains your edocr document. Once subscribed, the visitor will receive notification via email when documents are added to the document collection. ● Thumbnail - This option allows you to forgo the viewer and simply embed a thumbnail image of the first page of your document. Once you’ve chosen a viewer option, click on the icon next to the text box to copy the code snippet into your clipboard. You can then paste that code into a page on your site. Next step: wix.com Head over to the “Wix App Market” and install the “HTML iFrame/Embed” app. Once installed, you can add the HTML iFrame item to your page. Be sure to choose the “Code” radio button in the app menu and then paste the embed code into the text field and click the “Update” button. You now have an embedded edocr document on your wix site. Be sure to resize the iFrame item to ensure that the entire viewer is visible. Use WordPress instead of Wix? We have a plugin for that too!
