View office document into mashup

[mmancin]

Hi all,

     I would like to display office documents within a mashup without having to download the data locally on the filesystem. is it possible to display in a webframe (as if it were a pdf) the files present in a thingworx repository? even passing through a server side application (not cloud).

Is there any third-party software that can generate an iframe for a document on the server?

Hi @mmancin,

PDF documents stored in a ThingWorx Repository can be viewed in the WebFrame widget as per How to display/render an uploaded PDF on a Mashup in ThingWorx. As far as Office documents are concerned there is no out-of-the-box widget that would allow a preview of these files in a mashup. Using the same process would download them instead of displaying a preview in the mashup itself.
