Aspose Document Viewer

#1

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!

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.

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.

I can see from your original query that you were looking for web based viewers for various file formats. I’m happy to update you that we have built web viewers for various file formats at aspose.app.

Here you can find a list of the viewers supported:

Please note that all these viewers were built using Aspose APIs. So you can also use Aspose file APIs to built such customized viewers for your own applications and products.

You can use GroupDocs Viewer for .NET and Java as well to add viewer functionality in your own applications.

We can also help you get started with free consulting about how to use Aspose APIs.

With free consulting, we help you with small projects so you can get started quickly and build your apps. Please note that, we also offer paid consulting, where you can pay to get your application built for you.

So please feel free to explore all the viewer apps I shared above along with other options to see which option suits you well. We’re looking forward to help you out.
