Product Document Viewer for WooCommerce adds a simple document preview button to your WooCommerce store, allowing customers to view supported documents directly from the product page before making a purchase.
It's ideal for
books, ebooks, digital products, catalogs, brochures, product guides, course materials, sample chapters, and other document-based products.
Instead of asking customers to download a file or leave the product page, you can give them a quick preview of the content and help them make a more informed purchasing decision.
PDFs are previewed using the browser's own built-in viewer. Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files are previewed using Microsoft's Office Online viewer.
