-
Document Viewer Pros
- Visitor can read file without an additional click or needing to download.
- Visitor can view MS Word, Excel, and PPT files even if they do not have those programs.
-
Document Viewer Cons
- Recommended only for docs 2MB and under.
- Only supports PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and Excel files.
- Occasionally the document will fail to load. Visitors can simply refresh the page, or click the link under the frame to download the file.
- File names should not have any spaces for best performance.
- The document takes up a lot of real estate and you should only have one per page.
- If you need to share multiple documents, consider File Library or adding a Tabbed Widget (see below).
- If appropriate for your section, you could turn off left navigation (under Section Options) and place two Doc Viewers side by side.
-
Use two or more Document Viewer apps in conjuction with the Tabbed Widget app to offer multiple view-ready documents on a single page.
