In-Browser Viewing of Various File Formats in DSpace and Bulk Printing Options

[Shubham Kumar Saurav]

Hi All,

I am exploring options to transition to DSpace for our document management needs. One of my primary concerns is the ability to view various file formats (such as TIFF, JPEG, PDF, and MP4) directly in the browser without requiring users to download them or open them in desktop viewers.

Additionally, I am interested in the possibility of bulk selection of records for printing.

Could anyone provide guidance on:

1. What file formats are natively supported for in-browser viewing in DSpace?
2. How to configure DSpace to enable seamless in-browser viewing for different file types?
3. Are there recommended tools or libraries for embedding viewers for less common file types (e.g., TIFF)?
4. What customization options exist within DSpace for modifying item display templates to accommodate these needs?
5. How can I implement a bulk selection feature for printing records in DSpace?
Any insights or experiences you could share would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
