OpenOffice like a viewer

Post by GlacialMan »

Is it possible to use OpenOffice for a MS Office viewer application. I'm making Viewer application in JavaFX which will be able to open Pictures, PDFs, Word/Excel/PowerPoint documents.

Here is my application:

There are free MS Office viewers: Word viewer, Excel viewer. You should use those, because OpenOffice is not 100 % compatible with MS Office, some formatting details will not look the same in both.

You will have to figure that out. :) OpenOffice is a great OpenOffice viewer, but you shouldn't use it as an MS Office viewer.

Hi,

for ODF files there is the ODFToolkit formerly known as ODFDOM.
Please have a look at this link:
