 * Hi
 * I am using GDE 2.2.3
 * I haver a valid (full path) link to a 1 Mb .pdf file and I did notice it was 
   not being viewed until I set Force=1
 * <!– GDE EMBED ERROR: retrieve error (0:), use force=”1″ to bypass this check –
   >
 * I have tried fiddling with a few options but nothing as shown me what is causing
   this behaviour.

 * Hi
 * Unfortunately, it gets worse. I have now had to disable the plugin as it all 
   it does is render the blank viewer at the bottom of the post. Tried IE and Chrome
   on two separate machines.
 * The download link works ok.
 * I am happy to send you ( the dev) the link of my post away from this forum.

 * Hi
 * Hmmmmmm had to do a win7 reboot after an update… went to the post and set changed
   force=”0″ to force=”1″ . Now can view my document in the GDE.
 * oh well I just will monitor periodically to see if the issue I experienced comes
   up again.

 * Hi Daniel,
 * Not sure what occurred there. May have been a momentary outage on Google’s end,
   or some other issue with Google connecting with your embedded file for conversion.
   Sounds like it resolved itself.
 * If you find you have to use the “force” option a lot (some servers don’t report
   certain file attributes normally, making this a requirement on pretty much every
   file), you can set it globally under Advanced Options > Disable internal error
   checking. Then force=1 is assumed and you don’t need to add it to the shortcode
   explicitly.
 * If you need to send me a link privately in the future, my email is near the top
   of the donate.php file, or use the support link in your plugin list. Thanks.

 * Hi
 * Thanks, I tried to send the link to my page via your contact form. So far so 
   good. I have used the Advanced Options > Disable internal error checking option.
 * I like this plugin.
 * Daniel
