Document Viewer

Dear Support Team

Instead of downloading the file, I wish to make the content of the file viewable using a document viewer. within the web pages. the requirement is, Login users can only view the document and not download.

Similar to the functions on that web page

your suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I think if you displayed the file in a viewer, then someone could still save and download a version. If you are trying to make a file viewable without giving them a copy, I don't think this technique would work.

Since there are multiple viewers for different file types, you would probably have to hand code something to check and identify the correct viewer to use, then you could use the examples on the site you linked to to show the correct viewer for that file type.
