How to embed Issuu pdf viewer into a free wordpress.com blog

• Click the “Get Embed Code” button on the Issuu page and copy the HTML code into Notepad. You’ll have this large bit of code:

<div><object style=”width:420px;height:297px” ><param name=”movie” value=”http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf?mode=embed&amp;layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&amp;showFlipBtn=true&amp;documentId=091029003617-3e3f15d9e5c942cc8eeab0cbfab84d76&amp;docName=week0-2009-freshersweek&amp;username=Student_newspaper&amp;loadingInfoText=Week%200%20-%20The%20Student%20-%202009%2F2010&amp;et=1297090578523&amp;er=29″ /><param name=”allowfullscreen” value=”true”/><param name=”menu” value=”false”/><embed src=”http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” menu=”false” style=”width:420px;height:297px” flashvars=”mode=embed&amp;layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&amp;showFlipBtn=true&amp;documentId=091029003617-3e3f15d9e5c942cc8eeab0cbfab84d76&amp;docName=week0-2009-freshersweek&amp;username=Student_newspaper&amp;loadingInfoText=Week%200%20-%20The%20Student%20-%202009%2F2010&amp;et=1297090578523&amp;er=29″ /></object><div style=”width:420px;text-align:left;”><a href=”http://issuu.com/Student_newspaper/docs/week0-2009-freshersweek?mode=embed&amp;layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&amp;showFlipBtn=true” target=”_blank”>Open publication</a> – Free <a href=”http://issuu.com” target=”_blank”>publishing</a> – <a href=”http://issuu.com/search?q=freshers%20week” target=”_blank”>More freshers week</a></div></div>

• Now copy the big, blue bold section.

• In your Edit Post page on WordPress switch to HTML editor and insert the copied code as follows:

[ gigya BLUE BOLD CODE ]

So in this example it’ll be:

[ gigya src="http://static.issuu.com/webembed/viewers/style1/v1/IssuuViewer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" menu="false" style="width:420px;height:297px" flashvars="mode=embed&amp;layout=http%3A%2F%2Fskin.issuu.com%2Fv%2Flight%2Flayout.xml&amp;showFlipBtn=true&amp;documentId=091029003617-3e3f15d9e5c942cc8eeab0cbfab84d76&amp;docName=week0-2009-freshersweek&amp;username=Student_newspaper&amp;loadingInfoText=Week%200%20-%20The%20Student%20-%202009%2F2010&amp;et=1297090578523&amp;er=29" ]

Remember to close the square brackets!

Voila!:
