View your DivShare documents without a download
Our coolest new feature of the day is the document viewer, which allows you to read all your PDFs, Word documents and PowerPoint presentations right on your DivShare download page. When you upload one of these files, we’ll now convert it to Flash — you can view it without downloading and grab the embed code to add it to your own site. Here’s an example of the output for a Word document:
Pretty cool, right? It makes things easier for all of us who have spent a lifetime waiting for Acrobat, Word and PowerPoint to load just so we can check out a document — and it means you can share those files with people who don’t have that software at all. And, of course, you’ll always be able to download the original file.
Try it out by uploading your own documents today, and watch out next week for the public launch of our API, as well as an awesome new Facebook application. If for any reason you don’t want your documents converted, you’ll find an option to turn it off in your My Account preferences. Enjoy!

Just want to say how awesome you guys are at coming up with great new features. I’m really interested in the Flash PDF viewer. I signed up immediately after reading that on Venture Beat (blog). I’m having a few issues though. I can’t find the viewer? Also the site seems to be up and down right now.

Any chance of doing something similar with uploaded Raw image files too - as proposed a long while back!
In other words the image would be viewable as a jpg on-screen, but the original raw file would be available to download. Ideally a full size high quality jpg conversion would also be available for download.
This should also make it possible to include raw files in image galleries along with jpg’s etc.

The problem: pdfs aren’t displayed in flash. Why?

Here is same problem… My DOCs and PDFs isn’t be converted.
But why you don’t use ZOHO API??? (www.zoho.com)… Zoho is very good, and don’t need DOC convertion… Use flash for PDF…
Sorry for my english.

I have a suggestion. Can you please include odt files also? Those that use the opensource file formats. It would really help the open source community. Thanks!
