Configuring Excel preview to be more accurate?

[sscbrian]

Wondering if there's a configuration option available to do more accurate Excel document previews.  Under our old system (SharePoint), Excel documents previewed looking like Excel.  In Alfresco/OpenOffice though, they preview looking like PDF/text documents.  Is there a way to configure OO to show spreadsheets like spreadsheets (instead of looking like word processor documents)?

Alfresco uses PDF.js for preview: every document is transformed to PDF in order to show it on the browser. There is no other option out-of-the-box. However, you can develop your own extension (maybe based on your previous SharePoint web client) to include any web previewer. Some samples can be found at https://github.com/share-extras/media-viewers

Another option if you are using alfresco enterprise is the alfresco transformation server.

Mark,

Transformation Server includes a custom html previewer? Or it's just a better transformation due to be performed by Microsoft software?

Thanks
