Google Drive – Hiding Left Navigation in Google PDF Viewer by Default

google-drivegoogle-drive-file-viewerpdf

Some clients of ours want to embed the following PDF in their website: https://docs.google.com/a/upshift.co.nz/file/d/0B39VaSipB41-ODk3WFRfSWRSV0k/preview

Unfortunately the viewer shows a left-hand navigation by default – which makes the presentation too wide for the website.

Is there a way of removing the left-hand navigation?

I found the following solution in this forum thread (all props to Yajeng). Fist get the document ID in the URL:

https://docs.google.com/file/d/<DOCUMENT-ID>/edit

Then use it like:

https://docs.google.com/viewer?srcid=<DOCUMENT-ID>&pid=explorer&efh=false&a=v&chrome=false&embedded=true

Or like:

<iframe src="https://docs.google.com/viewer?srcid=<DOCUMENT-ID>&pid=explorer&efh=false&a=v&chrome=false&embedded=true" width="640px" height="480px"></iframe>
