Portable Document Question

[call me rae]

So not sure if this is the proper forum for this but I had a question on using the Portable PDF Format BBC code?


When I try to add the pdf to my roleplay thread all that shows up is a blank screen.


The link for the pdf if below.


https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8--bp4HfIBBMVp5VlpQVjZ1dWM/view?usp=sharing


I use the 0B8--bp4HfIBBMVp5VlpQVjZ1dWM part of the link and put it between the [*gdoc*] [*/gdoc*] ( without the ** that's just so it shows up in the post )


But nothing happens.


However in the tutorial the link has an edit instead of a view so I was wondering if that was what preventing it from working.


If so I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to get the edit link. I've tried changing it to edit, public, etc but the same link keeps showing up for the document.

Seems to be working for me?

Your coding should look like the following:

[gdoc]0B8--bp4HfIBBMVp5VlpQVjZ1dWM[/gdoc]

Copy and paste that into your thread and see if it works. If not, provide the coding you used around the pdf or link us to your thread.

Okay. Maybe it was just the computer I was on.

Thanks for the advice.

Did you change computers? Some older computers may be unable to view google docs.

Yeah I was at my work and our computers are kind of old. I'm on my iPad now and it works fine
