Opening a doc/pdf file with DocumentEditor from FileManager

[william lee]

Hi,

I have implemented the FileManager to work but now I want to be able to right click on the doc/pdf file from FileMnager and open them with DocumentEditor. 

The DocumentEditor should open with the file I selected from filemanager already loaded. Could you please provide a sample?

Hi Suriya,

My File Manager is accessing AWS S3 to get my files and I want to be able to open the document with DocumentEditor straight from the FileManager

When clicked 'Edit' it will open DocumentEditor with the document already loaded

And finally when saved it will save to the same file located inside the S3 

Hopefully this is possible,

Thank you

Hi William,

Once you get the document from AWS, please convert it into SFDT format and refer below documentation for reference.

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/aspnetcore/documentation/document-editor/import#convert-word-documents-into-sfdt

Then open the SFDT in document editor using open method. Please refer below documentation.

To export the document to AWS, please refer below documentation:

Hi Suriya,

if I know the local path to the doc file I want to open, is it possible to open DocumentEditor with the file path? 

So the process would be to 

1. find the file in local folder with the file path I have
2. convert it to SFDT
3. set this file as default so when I open the DocumentEditor, it would open with the file loaded in

Could you kindly provide a sample or a direction on how I can achieve this?

Thank you

Hi William,

You can load the document from specific path. Please refer below API for reference:

https://github.com/SyncfusionExamples/EJ2-Document-Editor-Web-Services/blob/master/ASP.NET%20Core/src/Controllers/DocumentEditorController.cs#L259

In above, we have loaded document from App_Data folder and you can change path based on your requirement. Then load return SFDT in Documenteditor.
