We would like to display office documents in the browser (DOC, PPT, XLS and PDFs). The iPaper API from Scribd is perfect but ideally it would be installed on our server. Open source is a preference but commercial is ok. Looking for an easy, server side, good looking, minimal interface flash frontend viewer.
Thanks!
You can use Google Document Viewer in embedded mode. It cannot be installed on your server and your documents will have to be accessible from the web.

In my application, i have uploaded PPT,PPTX files using paperclip gem. I have url like this
" Presentation.last.avatar.url" = "/system/presentations/avatars/000/000/006/original/example.ppt?1411994371"
Now i want to display those PPT, and PPtx files in my localhost web browser. please give me suggestions.. thanks
Assuming you mean that you want them to be embedded in the browser, I've solved this by uploading the them to Scribd in the background and then displaying the embedded widget. This is a great solution because turning a PPT file into clean HTML is hard (so let someone else work it out), and you do not have to pay for hosting or bandwidth for those files.
It's a lot nicer to do it this way than to force the user to have an Office plugin installed for their browser, which depending on their platform they may not have.
The Scribd_fu gem will work with Paperclip, or you could use the official RScribd gem and roll your own.
I'm new in OpenERP and I'm starting to know the application.
I hope you allow me to post this kind of questions on the forum.
Whenever I issue any listing or report in OpenERP, the application generates a PDF file to be opened or downloaded. Is there any way to make these listings and reports directly into a browser window so I can print them directly from the browser instead of download/open PDF files?
Thank you very much

You can use this module to open directly in browser.
Just copy this module to your web/addons folder of openerp web
Hope its work
We have an FTP site for clients, and they just go to it with a web browser and see the files. I'd like to display the files in a more visually pleasing manner, is there a way I can show what files are on the server in the view, perhaps iterate over them and style them?
I found this answer here, but really didn't answer my question:
Ruby-Rails serve ftp file direct to client
(using rails 3 if it makes a difference)
You can use library links below:
http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-1.9.3/libdoc/net/ftp/rdoc/index.html

and you can use EventMachine https://github.com/schleyfox/em-ftp-client.

I'm currently writing a mobile app (hopefully iOS or android) using the jquery mobile framework and phonegap.
It'll need to export/send csv files in some way to the users, but I'd be interested to hear ideas or suggestions about the best way of doing so. If this can be done on the js side of the app that'd be ideal as it's what I'm most familiar with. A couple of options I've considered are:
Uploading the file using the google docs api
Writing the file to the file system (then export e.g. via iTunes)
I'm new to this so any suggestions gratefully received! Thanks for your help
There are a few options that you could use depending on how you want it to work.
The main options would be to
Use the File API (http://docs.phonegap.com/phonegap_file_file.md.html#File) to store files on the filesystem of the device.
Upload the file to a server using a standard XMLHttpRequest.
Write a native PhoneGap plugin on each platform that you are interested in that could connect to Google docs.
As Dave pointed out you can write files with the FILE API. I have used the file api on iOs to write custom log files and havent found any yikes so far.
I am developing a Delphi documents management application, so somehow I am giving the user some functionality similar to windows explorer.
I would like to know if there is a way to get the preview used by windows explorer. For example windows explorer creates a small thumbnail for a pdf document for example, and displays it when the user chooses to view "big icons". Is there a way to retrieve that preview?
MyTImage := GiveMePreviewForFile('C:\Test\File.pdf');
#user193655, using the IExtractImage interface is the way to go, this interface exposes methods that request a thumbnail image from a Shell folder
you can find a very complete sample in this site and the source code is here.
check this image
Take a look at the docs for IExtractImage. Basically you use IShellFolder with IExtractImage to get the picture you are looking for.
