Embed into NEW Google Sites

Hello!
I just came across gdoc.pub and it is exactly what I was looking for! I'm trying to use it to embed a google doc into a (new) Google Site. Right now, I've tried using the URL first given, gdoc.pub/ and gdoc.pub//raw. Both do nothing. Is there a different way to go about embedding into the new Google Sites?
Thanks!

Page not loading..

gdoc.pub link was working, now when I click on the hyperlink on our website, the page opens and just has the word "found" in the upper left-hand corner.

Margins on mobile

Hi augnustin, I saw a similar issue to #49. Also read the link you posted on the optimal reading length.

We had great readability for this recipe doc we use ever since we were using your service. Since a few days we saw these big white spaces appear in the margins. This is only on mobile, the doc still works great on my laptop.

This is how it looked before:

This is how it looks now:

Thanks for your work making the gdoc publisher! Can you/will you fix this issue?

Fix issue with fonts

Some fonts don't work.

Eg. Proxima Nova returns a 403 https://themes.googleusercontent.com/fonts/css?kit=3qINvnjb346LubKDfLRn69t6G6Z1RrRfgULZ1AHo7mPOfsfM6rvuuu7h1pY3r_-A

Doc Background color not published

Is it possible for the published Doc to display the Doc's background color?

Doesn't work

Your Google docs publisher doesn't work

Columns displaying only as single column

Is there a trick to this to make it work?

Mobile Formatting

When viewing the published document on mobile (android), the text touches the edge of the screen.

Website Down

Does not work.

I started and added my first google doc and it worked.
I added this one and it does not show. What am I doing wrong?

Table Element Not Centered

Currently, a centered section of page works fine, but centering does not carry over to centering a table in a page.

Example here:
https://gdoc.pub/doc/e/2PACX-1vRHSjmaM-DWX-DEm05D55gWs_xzaRpa1lNjvKIgFL9o-5aOq1PCrZ3ogtRqyWBjapfa1iK_i4PiibRv

Currently, I can fix it on the page with the dev tools using this in the table properties:

style="margin-left: auto; margin-right:auto;"

I'm not sure if there's a way to incorporate a change to the CSS based upon the centering of the element directly above the table or not. (Or what the best approach would be here.)

Side note: I love this publisher! Many thanks for sharing it!

Text Is Cut Off and Formatting Is Not Preserved

Hello! Unfortunately the text is cut off and the formatting is not preserved. See images of how it looks in the editing window vs published with your service. Is there a way to fix this? If so, I'd love to learn how. If not, I would like to un-publish this so it cannot be found in this state. Thank you!

cannot go to bookmarks

I tried

<gdoc.pub link>#bookmark=id.8mgz4l4x3h0t
and
<gdoc.pub link>#id.8mgz4l4x3h0t

but neither of them goes to my anchor. I confirmed that the anchor exists and is spelled correctly. I put the anchor in by means of the insert/bookmark capabilities in google docs.

I confirmed that this

#id.8mgz4l4x3h0t

does take me to my anchor. It just looks crappy because it doesn't have your software displaying it... :-)

Double Scrollbars when navigating to another gdoc.pub version of a doc from a link in another

If you have a page with a link to another published doc, the page is not aware of the change and does not resize the containing document appropriately.

So if the second doc you navigate to is larger than the first one, you get a scrollbar inside the iframe (I haven't had a chance to look a the source... I assume it is using a iframes), as well as the scrollbar for the master document that you had from the first doc you loaded.

Example

Mobile viewing of data ..

Hi this works a treat but when publishing for viewing on a mobile it becomes a bit of a black art trying to get it to fill the screen .. to 100% is there a way around this?

here is the link

https://gdoc.pub/sheet/e/2PACX-1vQvdZlzkhScf7NLNeFxAv_aPpiyRIcQkfHYlhpeeum3FceQLgzhZ9DiLBtvAGt1ds0UV9wYa18KVEHq#html

Accessing published docs secured (HTTPS)

I need to access the URL with https.
Until recent, the generated link (HTTP://gdoc...) was accessible also by HTTPs.
Now it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

Please assist,
Thanks

Large Margins Appearing on Left/Ride Sides of Published Document

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm noticing large margins on the left and right sides of the published document. These margins are not as large as those when the Google Doc is published straight to the web, however, the gDoc Published document is showing large margins that are not part of the original document's contents.

Thank you,

-Brandon

Issue with sharing published google document

Hello everyone!

Hope all is doing great!

We just used this website to publish a Google Document since it doesn't change any formatting and we really like it.

However we have an issue with sharing the link using Beacons. Whenever we share the published link using a Beacon the <title/> shows up.

Is there a way to have that removed?

You can see a sample screenshot at https://www.screencast.com/t/99q7dUPY

Any response will be appreciated.

How to remove the footer that is added?

I had a similar problems with GD itself putting a header:
"index.html"
and footer:
"Published by Google Drive–Report Abuse–Updated automatically every 5 minutes"
on:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_2L58Ic--jvkqG7mBZ8L6ydlbpUFhCv55-X9tZY5qH4/pub

• how do I remove either the added GD stuff or the footer added by google-docs-publisher?

Thanks,
Phil.

Frozen rows in published googlesheets

Hi google sheets introduction - works brilliantly, however, is there a workaround so that if frozen rows are used in the original google sheet this can be carried across as well?

right to left content not appearing right to left when published

right to left text still appear left to right after publishing

error message instead of doc

Hello and congrats for your nice work.
I tested your publish solution with some personal files and it worked like a charm, but then I tried to use it in a project I am helping with and it either gives "Internal Server Error " or just says "Found" but doesn't display the anything more.
The link I I was working with was

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQ254uFJrS3krkyjtcSC22nY2ZA44KHS4E4hFnpi4bFWs8wtJwMtnZrDDYPVFTmznbcWOtwPm08kJhK/pub

but there are several docs showing one of the messages I wrote above.
I don't know whether the links inside the docs could cause the result most of the ones I used contain links.

Document too big .. what is the limit?

I have deliberately kept this lean

[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1l3_QEkWcvRhQQn4ieYv3Mxbx6Pk3nMuhKx2bwQGUJcg/edit?usp=sharing]

so published under 30000 cells
27 tabs

Last night it worked .. now it is saying document too big ...

confused!?!

Mailto Link Not Working On Mobile Instance

I'm using the latest IOS and when I bring I up the rendered page the mailto link doesn't work. It does work when I click the link to go to the original Google Doc. And it does work on the desktop version.

Here's the link: https://gdoc.pub/doc/e/2PACX-1vR6IoPrHGNXyHa2QFwux56dak3_JDdVAiRHltDbkFa_dzooBHMaCjzY4f1J6n6MH__FingsuaxiEQ71

Any help would be appreciated.

doc wont publish and returns Cannot GET error

When I try to publish my doc, it opens up a webpage with plain text saying Cannot GET followed by my doc's url. It won't publish at all so far, and I've tried with a few documents without any success.

Internal Server Error

Hi have used your solution a number of time .. all working well

however when I posted this link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSWV5kubQbV4cfGVJmc3M4li9XtokQRcqXC27uMZGVLf4qycJyIG-67tGthUrBZZULJyjDyYQNvudPo/pubhtml

Image not wrapping

I was facing this issue with google docs and now with gdoc.pub too. In my document, the images are not wrapping in the text to look neat and formated.

https://gdoc.pub/doc/e/2PACX-1vT6t3uSOHARVubyXGe6pkJbExlNVbk2pfBpuITK6evOsQRH_aaZQoKp7iL0tYrDDyHvG_o6xMFQCNrG

gdocs.pub has been flagged as malicious by mcafee

Not a code issue but wanted to make sure you were aware. When a user tries to access https://gdocs.pub they're alerted that this is a known malicious site and warned to stay away. You can check their database here:
https://www.trustedsource.org/en/feedback/url

and see that it's listed as a phishing site.

Not seeing my content

When I paste my public doc url, all I see is "Found" at the top left corner and none of my content. This looks pretty simple to use, but I can't get it to work. Could someone please help me out :)

'Not found'

After pasting my URL into the "Publish your doc right now" field, the copied link results in 'Not found'.

The URL is https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Z1atNALhSxbwLVdop0URfsyG74Bqp8X8J0dx5fM5OkY/pub

Thanks,

Issue with google docs bookmarks

There seems to be a issue with documents having bookmarks. While the page is loading, the page scrolls down automatically to the bookmark. After which, the scroll bar does not respond. The page stays fixed at that bookmark. I tested this for both Chrome and Firefox, and it doesn't seem to be a browser issue.
On chrome mobile, however, I am able to scroll out of the bookmark, though while on reload, the page again scrolls down automatically to that bookmark.

RTL Text appear LTR in some sections

Noticed that in tables and in Headers

https://gdoc.pub/1xAu3bRKNBfp1vNBucvD25MpuxnxG9yi_JSPXSVUNuw4

Great Project. Thanks!

float the table of contents to one side?

For long documents that need a table of contents, it would be great if the TOC floated to one side of the main text (and even stayed visible during scrolling)

the gdoc website is timing out

gDoc Publisher Does Not Show Formulas

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm an educator and know zero about coding.

I use gDocs to create a lot of content for my students. Recently, Google made some type of change where the gDoc when published as a webpage has very large margins on the left and right side of the webpage and I cannot figure out how to remove them.

I then found this gDoc Publisher site and like how it retains nearly all formatting from the original gDoc when published as a webpage. However, I recently discovered a problem. The problem I found is that gDoc Publisher will not show any formulas from the original gDoc created using the Google Equation Editor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Header formatting not consistent with doc

I have a header which I have removed spacing before and after the paragraphs inside and the spacing in the generated doc doesn't seem to reflect the changes. The header is still spaced out as if the spaces weren't removed.

Getting 'Not Found' error

Hello

I've been using this for years and love it so thank you, but when I was checking something over, I realised my links now say 'Not Found' in the top left. I double checked and the original documents haven't been deleted, and I tried it again with another document and it isn't working for new ones either. I tried it on the Mac in both Chrome and Safari. Is there an issue? Sample link and screenshot: https://gdoc.pub/doc/1cY6qgS5ylRF8FDTD8zMr8wOI4o0Wwdtou3smB10gOp8#?usp=sharing

Lost my background color after publishing to web

I'm new to Google docs and publisher, after generating a google doc and using publisher, the url/web link did not maintain the background color of the original google doc. Any idea how to correct this?

Text appearing in header: Automatisch alle 5 Minuten aktualisiert

Hello

This text is now appearing in the header of published documents, which has never appeared before. I'm sure it means the page is automatically updated every 5 minutes, but it'd be helpful to be in the source language if it is there! Any chance it can be removed or reflect the language of the document?

Hyperlinks in table of contents

The hyperlinks work in the original published version but nothing happens when using this. Is it a bug or a missing feature.

https://gdoc.pub/doc/1q-vsEFExos8Oj_eDzrHcQZGZ2ld-k8Yp8Y4UlyZdrY0#?usp=sharing

Everything is Broken

Just says "Found" when I try using the service.

page color is not consistent with draft doc

I have a document with a black page background with white text. When published and viewed it is white on white.
Thought this would work but it didnt help...
help please!

this is the google doc link

https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTV6YMK9RT69ZrrtnD-lsCZN9-5U9_4BKpt0rar91m59ebg1_N0P17J5S3PRrvOe7JCxl7Wk8hTMNLp/pub

Horizontal lines

I have several horizontal lines in my doc but these don't appear in the formatted version. They also don't appear in the version published without formatting.

Encoding

Not sure but looks like CloudFlare breaks the encoding.
Text is totally ok, I tried to play with it but the � artifacts are always here. In new locations if some changes were made.

Here's a doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LLGEgvj2fJrENXkGKDat8dBMRyew5phLsFY0FsKqcOY/pub
http://gdoc.pub/1LLGEgvj2fJrENXkGKDat8dBMRyew5phLsFY0FsKqcOY

The bug is present in all browsers.
Also note the text contains hebrew characters.

502 Bad Gateway

As of 3/28 10:30MST https://gdoc.pub/ is returning a 502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.4.6 (Ubuntu) error.

Using with Google Sheets?

Hello,

Is it possible to use this with Google Sheets? If so, which publish format should I choose?

Thanks!

"Not Found"

Hi Augustin, I'm a huge fan of Google Docs Publisher. Been using it to format the following spreadsheet for 9 months now without issue, but today it stopped working. It just says "Not Found."

Here is the google doc:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQTl0UIfDriIOEJUXjVCPOSSB5yKe0nI4aLmeTglMKGdwaWQUidl4zCGB43DEy5yMKYOPo76mHRFN7t/pubhtml?gid=1172294093&single=true

Please let me know if there's anything to be done, thank you!!

Document too big

I have several chapters of a book I am publishing on the web and 2 of them result in this error message:

WARNING: Document too big
Your document is too big to be displayed with gdoc.pub. Try reducing it's size or use the original document URL.

Thanks for your comprehension,

Augustin Riedinger

Is there any possibility the maximum size could be increased slightly? Or perhaps is there some way I could host your source on my own server and increase the size allowed?

Document too big

We are trying to publish a document onto our webpage but keep getting a document is too big error. Can you advise how to proceed?
