I had been using documentViewer() component to make an inline view for pdf files. But when Excel/PPT files are uploaded it just gets downloaded, unable to have a inline view for it. Is there any other component or any other way to achieve it?

Thanks! in advance.

    There is no out-of-the-box way of doing this. I have a client who implemented external web viewer components which are then embedded into Appian.

      I would try to challenge the requirement. This approach becomes pretty complex. But ... good luck
