Document viewer is already installed in my instance.

In your instance as well it is installed as per your screenshot

Activate Document Viewer for the tables where you want to use it.

  1. Navigate to System Definition→Dictionary.
  2. Open the table Collection record to update.
  3. Enter use_document_viewer=true in the Attribute field.

Check these global system properties -

glide.ui.attachment.force_download_all_mime_types

  • Forces download of all attachment files.

glide.ui.attachment.download_mime_types

  • A list of comma separated attachment mime types that do not render inline in the browser. This will prevent cross site scripting attacks. For example, text/html will force html files to be downloaded to the client as attachments rather than viewed inline in the browser.

glide.ui.attachment.admin_scs_download_mime_types

  • For admin only uploads (accessed via upload.do), a list of comma separated attachment mime types that do not render inline in the browser. This will prevent cross site scripting attacks. For example, text/html will force html files to be downloaded to the client as attachments rather than viewed inline in the browser. This setting is only used when accessing static content files via the "/scs/" link provided by an admin-only uploaded file.

glide.ui.attachment.tables_ignore_force_download
