Mightneed to have a review of the policies to see if you can get some wiggle room (i.e. a change in the policies) - as a former HIPAA Privacy Officer myself, I understand that is no small undertaking, and it is going to depend heavily upon the cost(s) associated with putting a full MS license on each of the systems that need it
Document editing is very easy to restrict, and acts exactly the same as MS Office. I cant recommend OpenOffice however, with the changes in licensing, and the fact that much of the OpenOffice development team moved over to LibreOffice some time ago.
A PDF and a Word Document are roughly the same size so it should be that complex. Also if you have an EHR or PM system, you should not be able to change any information without clearance, that is how most systems work. You also should look at EHR and PM Systems that allow that.
Instead, the competing office productivity suites have incorporated the ability to import/export those formats according to the ISO standard microsoft pushed in 2008 (but didnt adhere to in anything since)
With SaaS and even desktop based software there are now all kinds of newcomers and I haven't been able to figure out if there are any new solutions to at least view these 5-10% documents without skewed results (misplaced graphics etc)?
Google Drive is a great alternative but does not allow documents to be viewed without user account. So for browser based solutions we'd need a solution which uses non-user based login eg. IP address or general/common login for all hospital staff. Best of all - installed locally.
I was in situation when I wanted to view proprietary office file (Academic) but Libreoffice 4.2 wasn't up-to the task, since the issues were the same as yours -- misplaced graphics, or text. Running a virtual machine just to open a file didn't seem to me a good idea as that makes the system feel bulky. Wine has a good support for Ubuntu but you're on your own for an OS like Slackware.
Note: If the presentation files have animation then the animation wouldn't work. The extension can view the files locally, but requires Google Drive access to edit. This extension IMO is upto the task as I tested .doc, .docx, .pptx, .xls files and most of them worked fine for reading. Also, since the title of the question asked for a viewer, I assume this extension meets the demand.
Viewer mode allows unlicensed users of Microsoft 365 Apps to view and print Office files without being prompted to activate Office. To use viewer mode, you must use a supported version of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise.
Viewer mode is designed for users who need to view or print Office files without creating or editing. For example, a doctor or nurse can use this mode to open files in Office from a health-care line-of-business application. Viewer mode is a benefit to users of Office for the web.
When viewer mode is enabled, an unlicensed user of Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise isn't prompted to activate Office when they open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint. Instead, they see the following banner message underneath the ribbon in their Office apps that informs them Office is in viewer mode.
Enable the Use Viewer Mode policy setting. You can find this policy setting under Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2016 (Machine)\Licensing Settings.
If you're using Version 2204 or older, disable the Automatically activate Office with federated organization credentials policy setting. You can find this setting under User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Microsoft Office 2016\Subscription Activation. By disabling this setting, you ensure that Office isn't automatically activated with federated organization credentials.
I have just installed Libre office on my pc and produced a spreadsheet but now that I have emailed it out for them to open but despite everyone having installed Libre office viewer version 6.1.0.0. for android which was downloaded from google play no one can open it on their devices except those with a pc running windows What is the answer?
Since it works for me, please tell which version of Libre viewer you use (mine is 5.2.3 from F-Droid) and where you downloaded it from. There may be also problems in the procedure to transfer the file to the Android device (how do you do it?).
I just downloaded LibreOffice Viewer to my Android Galaxy Tab S2 Android v7.0 from F-Droid.org. (First installed the F-Droid app, then downloading LO viewer using it). It was about a 50mb download. Then had to install after I gave one time permission to install from a source other than Google Play or Galaxy Apps; (see Settings Lock screen and Security Unknown sources). LibreOffice Viewer
5.2.3.1/01ec8f3 works for me. Am able to open and view an .ods spreadsheet that I emailed to myself.
I have a CR 30-X with a workstation connected to it running the Agfa NX 3.0.8000 software and a desktop in another room with NX Office Viewer which is used to view the X-rays there. My network set-up has recently changed due to some problems, and ever since, NX Office Viewer on the desktop gives an error message stating that the workstation is offline, despite verifying that the workstation is on, running the NX software, and both devices are connected to the network. So, I can't view any X-rays on the desktop.
I need to know how the software, or the machines themselves, are supposed to be configured to allow you to view the X-rays on secondary devices like the desktop. Despite searching through the manuals and help services that come with the software, I have been unable to find any information on where to configure network connectivity or what information to use when doing so.
The office viewer and the NX software have to be the same version. IF they are not they will not communicate. There isn't really any setup. The office viewer automatically looks for the NX on the network. I can't remember for sure but you might need to make sure that the office viewer is listed on the ALF file.
I've checked the versions of the software the workstation and desktop are running, and they are both the same. They even have the exact same build number. Although I'm unable to verify the ALF file at this time, I have to assume that the right license is present because everything was working prior to the network changes.
Can you ping the IP address of the NX pc from the one running office viewer. I would think since it was working before a network change that you now have a network issue where the two PCs can't see eachother on the network.
I've gone onto the two computers and confirmed that I can successfully ping the IP address of the other computer. The response time for each packet was less than 1 millisecond, as one would would expect for a ping inside a LAN. The desktop running NX Office Viewer still states that the workstation is offline.

When viewing a PDF using PDF Viewer Plus if I click the share icon at the bottom there is no option for bluetooth, but all other share options are present.
In order to share a PDF I have to right click on it in Files, then click the share option.
I can recommend LibreOffice & OpenOffice document reader ODF LibreOffice & OpenOffice document reader ODF F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository as a replacement for Libre Office Viewer; it can also open PDFs
LibreOffice Viewer: on the 1.0 /e/OS update LibreOffice Viewer (org.documentfoundation.libreoffice) is still completely broken and useless; while trying to open a doc/docx file it says that the file is read only and automatically closes) It can be disabled via app info.
PDF Viewer Plus; is still at version 3.2 on the 1.0 /e/OS update, and as @petefoth mentioned, it is an outdated version and it can not be disabled (not even after installing another PDF viewer/reader and setting it to default) but at least is functional.
In case you did not know, Office files that end with an (x), like PPTX, XLSX and DOCX, or an (m), like PPTM, XLSM, DOCM are actually ZIP files. If you rename these files to .ZIP, you can open them up and see all the component that make up what is now an the Office Open XML File Specification.
I recently started working on a project where I needed to quickly get into the contents of an Office file to see if the changes being made were correct. I also needed to do light editing of the internal XML parts at times. And I seemed to remember doing all this before. I searched and search and then I found this old project. I have been using it a couple weeks now and figured it might be a good thing to share with the community. So I published it on GitHub:
The details for install and usage are in the README.md. Once installed, you will have to register it for each file type. Once setup, you would right-click on the file, select Open With and then click OpenXmlFileViewer.
Actually, I have not tested it, but Visio files should work with this tool as well since they are following the Open Packaging Convention. -us/office/client-developer/visio/introduction-to-the-visio-file-formatvsdx. I do not have a Visio file to play with, nor do I have it installed currently to test, but I believe it should work just fine with my tool.
As David mentioned, you need to add the extensions he mentioned, otherwise the app will not allow you to select a Visio file. You do not need Visio or any of the other Open XML files installed to open the file.
I have created a PowrShell script to flatten a Visio file and it works with the other OpenXML apps. The flatten file is just the contents of all the component files and a headerline in a single file.
