Docs Online Viewer introduces a convenient way to view documents on the web. It uses third party online services like Google docs API (or other services when available) to open links with extension PDF, DOC, DOCX, XLS, PPT, RTF, ODT, ODS, ODP, CSV and many more file formats online in the browser itself without need for any third party software installed on your computer.

This extension reduces the need for additional software required to open documents such as Acrobat reader plugin, Microsoft Office and so on. This is less resource intensive compared to using external software/plugins which are a bloat on your system and may cause browser / system crashes. It also reduces the risk of downloading malicious documents.

Docs Online Viewer is lightweight and tightly packed so that it does not slow down your browser.

Supported File Formats: DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, PPTX, PDF, PAGES, AI, PSD, TIFF, DXF, SVG, EPS, PS, TTF, XPS, RTF, ODT, SXW, SSV, SXC, ODS, SXI, ODP, WPD

Works well nearly everywhere. Question please: when I click in options, on "Open in New Tab" then Save, it doesnt save. SO when I open the document online the original window disappears. How can I force it to open in new tab automatically please? Thanks
