Hi nmsinc,

Can you give some more details about what you're looking for. Is it a web based IDE for editing PHP files? Or something else?

Hi Dave,



Sorry, I should have been clearer.



I need a document viewer similar to the one found here:

[url "http://www.ajaxdocumentviewer.com/sampledemo/sampledocuments.asp"]http://www.ajaxdocumentviewer.com/sampledemo/sampledocuments.asp[/#800080][/url]



Our design holds multiple types of documents and images posted to records. Our client needs to offer their customers a way to view and print these documents outside the office such as a tablet. He wants a split screen viewer, one with documents on one side and images on the other. However, the cost per use base makes the one located at the link above impractical.



Thanks - nmsinc[/#000000]

Hmm, interesting. I haven't seen anything quite like that before. I did a quick search for alternatives but with no luck. Maybe someone else post with some ideas?

How much do they charge and what are the file formats your client needs to support?

A basic implementation might be a file list down one side and an iframe to view the document on the other. But I think you'd need to do on the fly conversion from PDF to PNG and a few other tricky things.

doesn't google have a document viewer snippet? I'm sure I've used it before within a shadowbox window... I'll see if I can find it
