Currently, we want to implement online document preview similar to Baidu Wenku, but they generally use Flash, and HTML5 canvas can replace Flash in most cases. So is there a way to let canvas display/preview Office documents?
If you don’t use Flash, the only way at present is to use OpenOffice/LibreOffice or an online service (such as the document conversion service provided by a third party in Qiniu) to convert it to PDF, and then use Mozilla’s pdf.js to preview it online.

This kind of demand is mainly handled by a powerful backend.
