GroupDocs.Viewer features

Seamlessly render, display, and convert PDF and Office Documents

View documents in HTML

Convert document of any type into a HTML document with CSS and SVG, which can be displayed in any modern web-browser.

Rasterize documents

Rasterize any supportable document format to the raster image, with adjustable image format and compression quality.

Render and highlight programming codes

Support of all popular programming, scripting, and markup languages, with ability to parse and highlight their syntax.

Convert to PDF

Document of any supportable format can be easily converted and saved to the PDF with adjustable options.

Apply transformations

Output document can be transformed during rendering - pages can be rotated and/or rearranged, and text watermark may be placed atop of them.

HTML output adjustment

Output HTML documents, generated by the GroupDocs.Viewer, can be tuned very finely: it is allowed to save to the stream or file, with external or embedded resources, callbacks and so on.

Support of complex document structures

GroupDocs.Viewer supports not only the single documents, but also files, which internally contain a list or hierarchical structure of documents, like email messages with attachments, ZIP archives with internal files within folders, multi-page TIFF images, and so on.

Optimization options

GroupDocs.Viewer contains an adjustable cache subsystem, which can fasten the loading time by using the cached versions of the documents. Also a set of different options for different formats allows to exclude some unnecessary parts or aspects of documents from the rendering (fonts, hidded worksheets, email attachments) to optimize the overall performance

Support of password-protected documents

GroupDocs.Viewer allows to open the encrypted documents of different types: PDF, WordProcessing, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and other, by specifying a password in the loading options.

Code samples

Some use cases of typical GroupDocs.Viewer for Python via .NET operations

Render DOCX to HTML

The HtmlViewOptions class properties allow you to control the conversion process, more on that here. For instance, you can embed all external resources in the output HTML file, minify the output file, and optimize it for printing.

Python

import groupdocs.viewer as gv
import groupdocs.viewer.options as gvo 

// Instantiate Viewer
with gv.Viewer("resume.docx") as viewer:
  // Set output HTML options, one file per page
  viewOptions = gvo.HtmlViewOptions.for_embedded_resources("page_{0}.html")
  // Render DOCX to HTML with embedded resources
  viewer.view(viewOptions)

Export PPTX to PDF

Create a PdfViewOptions class instance and pass it to the Viewer.view method to convert a PowerPoint PPTX file to PDF. The PdfViewOptions class properties allow you to control the conversion process. For instance, you can protect the output PDF file, reorder its pages, and specify the quality of document images. Refer to the following documentation section for details.

Python

import groupdocs.viewer as gv
import groupdocs.viewer.options as gvo  

// Instantiate Viewer
with gv.Viewer("presentation.pptx") as viewer:
  // Set output PDF options
  viewOptions = gvo.PdfViewOptions("presentation.pdf")
  // Export PPTX to PDF
  viewer.view(viewOptions)
