Many file formats in Novell Filr can be viewed as HTML by default, as described in Viewing the File in Your Web Browser
in the Novell Filr 1.2 Web Application User Guide. File formats that can be viewed as HTML by default are: .123, .bmp, .db, .doc, .docx, .dotm, .drw, .dxf, .htm, .html, .lwp, .odf, .odf, .odp, .ods, .odt, .pct, .ppt, .pptx, .prz, .qpw, .rtf, .sdw, .shw, .sxw, .tif, .txt, .vsd, .wpd, .xls, .xlsx, .sxi
Some file formats, such as .pdf files, cannot be viewed as HTML by default. This is because the quality of these files is lessened when viewed as HTML. However, if you choose, you can enable non-default file formats, such as .pdf files, to be viewed as HTML.
Not all file formats can be enabled to be viewed as HTML in Filr, but many can be. If you are unsure whether Filr supports a particular file format to be viewed as HTML, try it and see.
Follow the steps in Section 1.1, Changing Configuration Options for the Filr Appliance.
Select HTML Viewing.
In the Additional HTML Extensions field, specify the extensions that you want to be able to be viewed in HTML.
Click OK.
