Embedded Viewer - Embedded Document Displaying



You can call the existing GEODI Document Viewer from a different application and use it in an HTML iframe tag. This way you can display documents directly inside your software.



(!) By default, serving GEODI in an iframe via an external domain is disabled. You can configure the allowed domains to use iframe by using the System Configuration - Security Settings page.
