Aspose Document Viewer

[krista.souhrada]

Hi,
From what I understand Aspose has a Document Viewer and have a couple of questions about that.

1. What types of files can Aspose Document Viewer open?
2. Does it open the documents within the browser within the viewer?
3. What functionality does the viewer have? We are looking for:
   -Ability to view thumbnails
   -Zoom in/out
   -Print from viewer
   -Rotate page/all
   -Page Counter
   -Fit to page
   -Paging through document
   -Delete page
   -Save
   We are looking for a solution that functions like Adobe plug-in, but that will work in Microsoft Edge. Will the Aspose Document Viewer working in Microsoft Edge?
   Thanks for your help!
   Krista

Hi Krista,

We do not offer any viewer; you can go for the viewer offered by our sister company GroupDocs. Please visit http://groupdocs.com/ and check the features offered by GroupDocs viewer and post your query there if you have any confusion.

Web based document viewer using Aspose Total

Hi, I would like to implement a web based document viewer using Aspose Total. Mainly I would like to be able to preview .pdf, .doc, .docx, .ppt, .pptx, .xls, .xlsx. There is a way to convert a native document to an image to be able to display it in browser? I would also like to get the number of pages to be able to navigate. A thumbnail of the page would be great. Can you please point me to the right direction? Thank you, Craig Matthews

Hi Krista,

No viewer is part of Aspose APIs however you can convert documents to images and then use any image viewer to load those images. The viewer referenced in your second link is a plugin which is using Aspose.Words for .NET at backend to convert Word documents to images.

You can extend it to convert and load other document types or build your own viewer following the same pattern.
