RapidViewer supports:
PDF files (.pdf), Microsoft Word documents (.docx and .doc), PowerPoint presentations (.ppt and
.pptx) and TIFF files (.tiff). RapidViewer 1.3 introduced 12 new file types: Microsoft Excel (.xls,
.xlsx), Apple Pages (.pages), Adobe Illustrator (
.ai), Adobe Photoshop (.psd), Autodesk AutoCad (
.dxf), Scalable Vector Graphics (.svg), PostScript (.eps, .ps) ,TrueType (.ttf) and XML Paper Specification (.xps).
Since version 1.4.x, external documents linked using Link
remote document option, are directly linked to the page if their format is unsupported. This allows, for example, to display documents uploaded to your Google Docs account.
A Google / Google Docs account is NOT needed to use RapidViewer.
However, if you own a Google Docs account the viewer requires you to sign in in order to experience full Google Docs features.
This �affects� only users that own a Google Docs account but are NOT currently logged in. The viewer looks for Google Docs cookies and if it find trace of any Google Docs account activity, it requires to sign in letting you save documents thru your Google Docs account.
If either you don�t own a Google Docs Account or are logged in, the viewer works seamlessly.
I don't need any additional tools/plugins.
RapidViewer is based on Google Docs Viewer and work on all browsers.
RapidViewer uses Google Docs Viewer to display your documents.
This requires your web page to be published and the document to be publicly available.
While in Preview, RapidViewer displays a demo document.
If exported locally, you'll need to publish your web page in order to display the document.
There is a limitation to Google Docs Viewer, which this plugin embeds, that can cause documents not to load properly in Internet Explorer in its default security settings. You are affected with this issue if you find that the plugin loads correctly in all browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome, ...) but IE.
In order to fix the problem, you can follow instructions below.

LockDown protects with password all files that reside in its folder.
As RapidViewer is based on Google Docs Viewer, the document must be publicly available in order to be rendered in the viewer.
Following instructions let you modify LockDown behaviour in order to protect only .html and .php files.
In this way your RapidViewer page will be protected but the
original document will be publicly available.
Open .htaccess file in your LockDown folder with a text editor.
The file should look like this:
<Files ~ "^_pa">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</Files>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Content"
AuthUserFile path_to_your_lockdown_folder/files/_passwords
require valid-user
Insert this text at line 6:
<FilesMatch "(\.(php|html))$">
And this text at the bottom:
</FilesMatch>
The result should look like this:
<Files ~ "^_pa">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</Files>
<FilesMatch "(\.(php|html))$">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Content"
AuthUserFile path_to_your_lockdown_folder/files/_passwords
require valid-user
</FilesMatch>
Save the file and replace the online one.
We currently rely on what Google Docs Viewer supports. If it will be extended to support more file formats, we will extend RapidViewer capabilities accordingly.
Web Address project setting must be set correctly in order to produce a working RapidViewer page.
From RapidWeaver menu choose Site -> Show
Site Setup, enter actual Web Address (under
General tab) and then republish your RapidViewer page.
