Preview any file in the browser using Google Docs Viewer (No need to upload it to Google Docs)

Finally I could find a good way to preview the documents. It’s Google Docs Viewer (https://docs.google.com/viewer) (Not the google docs)

What we have to do is we have to just upload the file in our server and create the link in a different way and viewing it. So no need to upload the document to Google docs.

Follow is the test file that I checked with uploading the file to my server

http://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnnwebsolutions.com%2FTest%2FTestDoc.docx
