How to view a .Doc or .docx file in web browser instead of downloading it

[Raj Kumar]

I want to view .doc or .docx file to view in browser instead of downloading.

Can do it after converting it to pdf or is there any way to achieve it?

[Mohanaselvam Jothi]

Hi Raj,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support.

Regarding .doc or .docx file to view in browser instead of downloading:
Essential DocIO is a non-UI component that provides a full-fledged document object model to manipulate the Word document contents.

If your requirement is to view Word documents in web browsers, we suggest you to our DocumentEditor component which is now under development. This new Javascript component is planned for our 2018 Volume 2 release which is expected to be available by the end of May 2018. We will update once it is rolled out.

Regarding can do it after converting it to pdf:
Yes, it is feasible to convert the Word document into PDF and open in Web browser. For your reference we have prepared a sample application to convert the Word document into PDF using Essential DocIO and opens the converted PDF in web browser.

Please find the sample from the below link and let us know if this helps you:

Hi Raj Kumar,

Thank you for your update. 

Please find the steps to include EJ2 Document editor in your ASP.NET MVC application.  

1. Add below NuGets to your project.
• Syncfusion.EJ2.JavaScript
• Syncfusion.EJ2
2. You can find the required scripts and styles under following folder in the package.

Scripts Folder: packages\Syncfusion.EJ2.JavaScript.16.2.0.41\content\Scripts\ej2 

 

 

 

Styles Folder:  packages\Syncfusion.EJ2.JavaScript.16.2.0.41\content\Content\ej2 

 

 

 

3. You can either refer the script and styles from the package restored location like below or include it in your project and refer directly.

@Scripts.Render("~/packages/Syncfusion.EJ2.JavaScript.16.2.0.41/content/Scripts/ej2/ej2.min.js")
