ODF is available by default in almost any modern office applications such as Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice and Calligra Suite.īecause it is built on modern web technologies, ViewerJS understands embedded fonts, so your documents look pretty everywhere. ViewerJS can already natively show both PDF files and many types of Office files stored in OpenDocument Format, the open standard for office documents. (If not, let us know, if it does, let us know too.) You can even give presentations directly from the browser, so it provides a great backup for uncomfortable swapping of USB sticks with slides when giving a talk. That is it: ViewerJS does the rest.ĭo you need to show documents on your site, company blog, intranet or in a web app? And you want something robust that will still work in five years, can work offline, doesn't depend on any third party services or might be (perceived as) invasive to the privacy of your users? If you are considering using hosted online tools like Crocodoc, Docstock, Zoho, Google Apps, or Microsoft Office 365 (all trademarks, no doubt), check out ViewerJS – it probably fits your needs better. Download and unpack on your webserver and add one small text snippet to your webpages.
Free of cost, free as in open source (so you can tweak it yourself) and very easy to use. No tricks, no conversions, no unexpected downtime from external services, and no plugins required – it happens to work just fine in all major browsers today from the comfort of your own webserver. ViewerJS must be the easiest way to use presentations, spreadsheets, PDF's and other documents on your website or blog without any external dependencies.
