i am a student and working on my college project. My problem is that i want to open documents like doc, docx, pdf, ppt, txt, xls and some office documents on the browser which are located at my server. it means I dont want to download the document first to see the matter in it. All these document should be opened inside my web browser directly.
I know about google document viewer which provides cloud services for that, but their are some limitations for their use. there are many other cloude services , but they are not fullfilling my need. Is there any api that can help me? By the way my project is in J2EE and server is tomcat, database is Mysql. and my plateform is Windows 7.
If i am able to edit those document from client side , then it will be an extra help to my project.
ViewerJS will solve your problem. It is the easiest way to use presentations, spreadsheets, PDF's and other documents on your website or blog without any external dependencies.
You just need to include the viewer.js plugin inside your project.
It is user friendly.
You can easily view your documents from server side to the browser.
Can support for .ppt files, .pdf files , .doc files and open office files.
Have a look at here http://viewerjs.org/

I am working on a JavaScript-based application and there is a requirement to display PDF files in browsers. At the moment I am using and approach to embed a PDF file on the fly. This approach works in Firefox and Chrome because those browsers have built-in pdf viewer but it does not work in Internet Explorer. So I am looking for a cross-browser solution, other than pdf.js library.
There is no alternative to Mozilla's PDF.js -- the JavaScript cross-browser solution that allows fully parse and render PDF on the client/browser side. You can try compiling some C library to asm.js/WebAssembly (PDFium or Poppler), but you will only get rasterizer of a PDF page to a bitmap. PDF.js attempts to provide more things e.g. painting via canvas API or building DOM text layer for accessibility purposes.
All other JavaScript "viewers" have to have server side, or pre-process PDF before-hand into some other format e.g. PNG (which is technically is not a PDF anymore).

I am trying to evaluate the Scandit barcode scanner SDK for an iPad2 application. So far, I have registered for a Developer's license and I think I imported the license file and App key correctly, but still fails to authenticate the demo application. If I had the documentation it is likely that I can fix this and continue with the evaluation. Also, the SDK license does not provide any support (forum, telephone, email, etc.).
A few points, first of all there was a README.txt file in the ZIP file that answered all of my installation questions and it had a step that I missed.
There was an additional problem that I had with the license file, since I opened it for viewing, the file was altered to have extra and therefore did not pass the license validation. The console log stated that the file was invalid.
Scandit looked at the file and determined the problem with the new-lines and as soon as I re-downloaded the file, I was up and running. Now I can continue with my evaluation.
w.r.t the license file, there seem to be a couple of additional
newlines in the file. Can you try downloading the file again from
the Scandit website and store it directly (without opening it in an
editor) in the ScanditSDK directory? -- scandit support
Sorry you ran into this issue last year.
I work for Scandit, and over the summer we've expanded our website to provide a support section with detailed documentation, FAQs and contact information: http://www.scandit.com/support/documentation/
Please get in touch with any technical questions and we'll get right back to you.

Is there a free way to read PDF files through VBA to extract basic text content? I need to automate a weekly data acquisition process at my company where data is contained in PDF files (which are updated weekly by the data provider). Also, is there a reference I can look into to understand the file structure (DOM?) of a PDF?
Adobe's PDF reference is online here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdf_reference.html
I'm not sure about the best way to read PDFs from VBA directly, but if you can call an external Java or C# program, then I would recommend using iText for basic text extraction.
EDIT: I should maybe mention that Adobe's PDF reference is an 800 page beast. I found that it's good for looking up answers to particular questions (eg, storing widths of embedded truetype fonts), but it may not be a good place to start. For that, reading through the iText book helped me to get started on the format.
The IText book contains lots of worked examples for general PDF tasks and lots of background info to help you understand PDF files. It more than pays for itself very quickly!

I need a simple library or tool with which I can upload arbitrary files (other than the explicitly supported formats, like .doc, .docx, .xls, .pdf, .txt, .ppt etc.) to Google Docs. The Perl module WWW::Google::Docs::Upload doesn't work, I get an exception (Link not found at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/WWW/Google/Docs/Upload.pm line 39; it's from 2008). Any programming language which is easy to run on Linux should be fine.
The responses How to programatically upload document on Google Docs? suggest using the API directly. Is there a tool or library which is a convenient wrapper around the API?
You can upload arbitrary files by automating the Web UI.
See how to do this here: http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/googledocs-rse/wiki/UploadAnyFileToGoogleDocs
The project you want is called googlecl - see http://code.google.com/p/googlecl/wiki/Manual
The googlecl (google command line) tool allows you to upload docs.

My application incorporates the manual as a PDF file and I want that the user can read the manual without exit and with a minimun overload.
Do you know any free (as in beer) component for .net that can just read pdf files? (I don't need editing).
Thank you.
P.D.: Yes, I did Googled, but I can't find a free one.
P.D.2.: If I don't need to install anything on the target computer, then it could be perfect!
Edit - Added
You don't specify what you're using as a development language. I'm guessing that it's some .Net language. If not, this will NOT be helpful to you.

Is this a Windows Forms application?
I don't know if you've thought of this, but you can create a form with a WebBrowser control, and set the WebBrowser's DocumentSource to be the PDF document you're talking about. This form can be controlled by your application. The WebBrowser control will just use whatever version of Adobe Acrobat that Internet Explorer would use on the client's PC. Almost every computer out there has some version of the Acropbat Viewer, so there is very little chance you would need to install anything.
The reasons I recommend this are:
No need to buy a component
It works. Simply, beautifully, and it's as error free as just opening the PDF via Internet Explorer.
