Google Docs Viewer Bot
(http://www.webgift.gr/images/userfiles/62/bot_greader_logo.png)
Google Doc Viewer bot gives you the ability to quickly view documents online without leaving your browser using Google Docs Viewer technology. You can post a document file like pdf, doc, xls etc ( see the supported file types below) into a content item or an autonomous page or even at product's description area of your eshop website using Elxis CMS 2009.x.
Overview document features
There are 2 main modes that bot can display the registered documents. These are :
1. Button Mode. An image button will be displayed at the point of the article that we called the bot. You can read the document by clicking on that image. With the use of Highslide technology ,Document will be appeared in a popup window into your browser!
2. Review it within the article's area as is. Document will be displayed uncharged using iframe choice.
Switching mode can be determined by the parameters of Bot.
Upload document features
We can upload - set the document with 2 different ways each time. There are :
1. Using an FTP client program. We can upload the document via FTP server to our 'elxis' website at /images/userfiles/ folder. The bot can be called by writing the expression :{gviewer}filename.filetype{/gviewer}* at Elxis administration area (into editor).
2. Writing the live url of document. For example : {gviewer}http://www.mywebsite.gr/google.doc{/gviewer}*
* In order to avoid writing each time the expression of Google Doc Viewer Bot : {gviewer}.....{/gviewer} we have published one more bot that generates an Image button at Elxis Administrator Area (below of WYSIWYG text editor) [Download that bot below]

You can either use Google Docs Viewer bot (http://www.webgiftgr.com/eblog/press-news/google-doc-reader-bot-development.html) (button mode) or you can simply create a link directing to each PDF file separately.
-
what is command ,how we can write the text.i am using frame not button.please give me some more details
-
It's not a good idea to open 50 different PDF files in only one page using iFrame. Please visit the bot's parameter page.
[Administrator area] Bots -> Site Bots -> [Click] Google Docs Viewer bot -> [Change the] mode

i do not want to open 50 pdf on a page,may be i am not able to tell what i want to say.
i want to know how we can give link to any file in Google doc viewer.
i have a text such that
"procedure for filling form"
"procedure for salary form"
"procedure for employee form"
all above 3 forms are either pdf or doc file.i want to put all 3 text line on a autonomous page.when user click one by one ,it must be open in doc viewer.
what is command for this,how we can do this.
thanks

We can define the files at Google Docs Viewer Bot as described in this article: here (http://www.webgiftgr.com/eblog/press-news/google-doc-reader-bot-development.html).
You can NOT manually change the button's text. However you can do something like the following example:
Example: Click on the salary form below:
{gviewer}salary.pdf{/gviewer} or
{gviewer}http://www.example.com/salary.pdf{/gviewer}
