While working with document online, one of the most frustrating aspects is the inability to easily view the content of a document and display it for everyone else to see in the browser. Quite often, you want to view or share a word document on the web with the same format, layout and quality as the original file. But it seems like a hassle because of the long document conversion process or creating links to the file so that other people can download it. Thus, a simple process of uploading the document and viewing it in the browser without having to install or download anything is required. Not only this but it is also compatible with all the most common business file formats such as DOC, DOCX, TXT, RTF, ODT, PPT, PPTX, XLS, XLSX, PDF, JPG, BMP, GIF, TIFF etc.
A quality viewer app allows you to view documents online when you don’t have the Office Suite or Acrobat installed on your computer or you want to quickly preview a file without downloading it. Use of such a tool becomes eminent in case of businesses where employees are working remotely and apps which provide mobility while being cost-effective at the same time, are preferred. It integrates well with the document management system employed in an organization which ensures that multiple collaborators can simultaneously view documents in the browser. It provides users with a rich set of features and capabilities to perform the desired tasks. Viewing, sharing and embedding documents in a web application is not difficult with such a solution at hand.
