Keeping that in view team GroupDocs is pleased to release a new simple, efficient and, user friendly showcase project for  GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET API.We would recommend you to clone this showcase project from GitHub and provide you valuable feedback.

Let’s explore key highlights in this new user interface.

Modern Look-and-Feel

The look and feel has been completely revamped using Material Design.

Desktop, Tablet, Phone

Mobile responsiveness is built into the new app. It works fine with all kind of screens ranging from phone, tablet, desktop and even retina display. When you move from large screen to smaller, the viewer will automatically re-arrange its layout to adjust into the available area.

Cross-browser Compatibility

The app is compatible with famous browsers including Internet Explorer. You will get same user experience when using it in any modern day web browser.

HTML-based Rendering

The document is rendered in HTML mode and loads very quickly as compared to image-based rendering. This also enables you to copy-paste text from the document.

Thumbnails

The left sidebar of viewer allows you to preview thumbnails of document pages. You can jump to any document page by clicking on its thumbnail.

Download

The app provides you a button on top toolbar to download and save the original document. You can also download a PDF of document, which can be later used for printing.

Pixel-perfect rendering

GroupDocs and its upstream products of Aspose are famous for its accurate rendering. The app delivers same promises of GroupDocs and renders the document with high precision. Unlike our previous app, the document is rendered in isolated environment so that the HTML/JS/CSS of app does not conflict with CSS of document itself.

Open Multiple Files

The top toolbar allows the user to switch between available files to open. The list of available files is populated from server automatically. To add new files to the list, just put them in storage directory.

Open Source

The best part is that full source code of the app is available to download from GitHub. You can also contribute to the app by sending a pull-request.

API Features

The app covers most APIs of GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET, which allows anyone to see how to use same API in their own apps.
