Office Document Server and Viewer

Document Engine offers developers a server-based Microsoft Office document viewer that can be used by PSPDFKit’s Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native frontend SDKs. Its server-side rendering guarantees consistent visual fidelity for your users, no matter their device. It can also be used for synchronizing documents and annotations to your server and across sessions, as well as managing authentication. It can be self-hosted on your own infrastructure.

How It Works

Information

Support for Office documents requires the Office Files license component.

When using Document Engine, you can treat an Office file the same as you would any PDF.

  1. Your server uploads the Office file to Document Engine.

  2. Document Engine will convert the file to PDF and store it.

  3. You can display the document using the returned document ID.
