How to add Win CE 6.0 office viewer, PDF viewer support ?

How to add Win CE 6.0 office viewer, PDF viewer support ?


Turns out, it is simpler than I thought - it is a third party app - unlike Win CE 5.0 which has it as standard catalog component to choose from.


I was scouring NET to find out Win CE 6.0 viewers support which is boasted about in Win CE Features Page
but never has any direct links for how-to add those features.

Visit here to download & install it in your Win CE 6.0 development PC.

Once installed, the catalog components for the File Viewers will be under “\Third Party\File Viewers”

Win CE 6.0 Office viewer/PDF viewer components

So check the boxes and "sysgen".
You are good to go.


Try it out folks !! - Simple enough !!

NOTE: There are limitations (viewer)


Check the file name "xxxxReleaseNote.html" you can typically find it in path C:\WINCE600\PUBLIC\Viewers once you finished installation
