HTML5 Document Viewer

Traditionally documents and images stored in a web application were downloaded to the user's desktop when user requests to view it and the user had to use any desktop software such as Adobe Reader, Windows Paint or Mac's Preview application to open the documents. There were quite a few drawback with this approach which is of prime importance especially for an enterprise application.

• Digital Footprint - The old process of downloading document to open the native viewer leaves a digital footprint in the client machine that accessed the document as it downloads the document or image to the local computer.The is a bigger problem since the document could potentially contain lot of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and once it gets downloaded to anyone's local computer, it can as well get into the wrong hands.
  
  
• Annotation, Notes and Watermarks - Most of the HTML5 Viewers in the market today support adding annotations, notes and watermarks on top of the document opened online. This would be huge benefit for future references and helpful information for a fellow colleague who is also working on the same document. Watermarks ensure that the document is not illegally produced somewhere else using simple web techniques such as taking screenshots etc.
  
  
• Wide Range of File Formats - HTML5 Document Viewers support wide range of file formats for viewing documents which means that you dont need to install multiple softwares in user's local machine to be able to view those documents. These HTML5 Viewers are smart to recognize different file formats ranging from PDF, Word, Excel, JPG, PNG, TIFF, HTML, TXT, ODT and much more and present it to the user in the browser in the most efficient way.
  
  
• Modern Browsers Support - HTML5 Viewers typically work in all modern browsers that support HTML5 and seamlessly open the documents and images. Microsoft Internet Explorer 10, Microsoft Internet Explorer 10,Mozilla Firefox, WebKit/Safari, Google Chrome, Opera are some of the modern browsers that support HTML5 and HTML5 Document Viewers supports all these browsers and much more.
