Hello All,

We need a module for document viewer in DNN. Need to show document files like pdf, docx, pptx, xlsx in browser. Please advise if we have any such dnn paid/free module available for this.

Rgards,

Alok

When you say "need to show document files..." are you referring to something like an embedded previewer for various file types? Or are you just talking about something to show a list of files and manage them accordingly?

For the latter, you can simply use the Resource Manager module that is part of the core DNN distribution (used for Site Assets and Global Assets).

For the former, this would most likely need to be something custom, and the solution will most likely be unique for each file type as requirements will vary.

I am looking for something like first one. Just thought we might have some custom DNN module solution for it.

For direct PDF previewing, you could use Evotiva DNNUserFiles.  If you combine that with Evotiva DNNGlobalStorage, you'll be able to preview via the storage platform integration (Office 365, Box, DropBox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc.).

If you have the skills and/or resources to have this built for you, there are a number of tools out there that help you preview documents on the website.  Here are a couple of options I found pretty quickly.  😉 

These Forums are for the discussion of the open source CMS DNN platform and ecosystem.
