If you have Office documents on your website or blog that you want your readers to view even if they don’t have Office installed? Would you rather view a document before downloading it? To give your audience a better experience, try the Office Web Viewer.

Document Viewer embeds Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF and HTML files directly into your posts and pages. Visitors read the file where it sits — no download, no Microsoft Office, no browser plugin.

The free version gives you a native Gutenberg block and a shortcode generator, two rendering engines (Google Doc Viewer and Microsoft Online Viewer) that you can switch per document, and full control over width and height in px or %.

The pro version adds cloud sources — pick a file straight out of Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive — a self-hosted Custom PDF Viewer built on PDF.js so your PDFs never leave your server, and a full content protection layer: block right-click, copy, save and print shortcuts, hide the download and full-screen buttons, and stop the document being popped out into a new tab.
