Google Doc Viewer bot gives you the ability to quickly view documents online without leaving your browser using Google Docs Viewer technology. You can post a document file like pdf, doc, xls etc ( see the supported file types below) into a content item or an autonomous page or even at product's description area of your eshop website using Elxis CMS 2009.x.

Overview document features

There are 2 main modes that bot can display the registered documents. These are :
1. Button Mode. An image button will be displayed at the point of the article that we called the bot. You can read the document by clicking on that image. With the use of Highslide technology ,Document will appear in a popup window into your browser!
2. Review it within the article's area as is. Document will be displayed uncharged using iframe choice.
Switching between these 2 modes above can be determined by the parameters of Bot.

Upload document features

We can upload - set the document with 2 different ways each time. There are :
1. Using an FTP client program. We can upload the document via FTP server to our 'elxis' website at /images/userfiles/ folder. The bot can be called by writing the expression :{gviewer}filename.filetype{/gviewer}* at Elxis administration area (into editor).
2. Writing the live url of document. For example : {gviewer}http://www.mywebsite.gr/google.doc{/gviewer}*
