Question

Show all types of documents within the application

0

Hello everyone, I'm seeking guidance on displaying documents in the browser within my application. Users will upload various document types (such as Visio, Excel, Word, PDF), and I'm interested in whether there's a way to present these documents to users within the application without the need for editing capability. Simply viewing them would be fine. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Negin

At the moment, I've identified two potential solutions for my question.

Firstly, there are various modules accessible for converting documents to PDF format, followed by the utilization of PDF viewers to display these documents. However, it's important to keep in mind that these solutions also typically involve associated costs.

Alternatively, the second option involves integrating the application with SharePoint and leveraging embedded links of documents to showcase them directly within the browser.
