Microsoft Office document preview in Pega
A large Swedish client application requires previewing Word and Excel documents in the Pega application (instead of downloading files and opening in a standalone application).
How likely it's possible to have such functionality implemented in Pega.
We made some research and found that there are several solutions on the market (either library, API) that support such functionality - if you want we can share the details.

@krolp Could you please share the details ? We have a similar requirement and we thought of using Snowbound VirtualViewer. But we are in pega cloud and as of now, Snowbound is not supported in pega cloud. https://snowbound.com/products/html5-document-viewer/pega
It'll be a really big help if you can provide some suggestions.
Thanks in advance.

@SimenFredriksen thanks for reaching out. The requirement finally got a low priority and has not been designed or implemented. Please let us know if you have any further questions about that functionality - if it does not exist a feedback item can be created for the product team.
best,
