Hi All,
I have enabled document viewer and can see .doc/pdf/xls files using it. But I am not able to view ppt/pptx file, it gives an error "This document could not be previewed.".
Thanks,
Shantanu

Hi Ankur,
Yes we followed the same procedure mentioned in docs, still facing an issue with ppt/pptx files.All other types can be viewed using Doc Viewer.

Hi Shantanu,
You can create com.snc.documentviewer.support_content_types property in sys_property table and in value you can give comma separated file extensions that you need to open with document viewer.
e.g ppt,pptx,pdf,doc
Thanks,
