Is it recommended to use Iframe for document Preview?

[Aastha]

Hi Colleagues,

I have various documents (docx, txt, pdf, ppt, xslx) that i would like to open in a preview mode.

The only Viewer control i could find in UI5  was for Pdf( PDF Viewer).

The first solution that came up was using iframe tag of sap.ui.core.HTML to embed the document :

var oHtml = new sap.ui.core.HTML();

oHtml .setContent("<div  style='width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow:scroll' ><iframe id='tcf' style='width: 500px; height: 500px; overflow:scroll' src='http://help.sap.com/hana/hana_dev_en.pdf'></iframe></div>");

Just want to understand, is it advisable to use iframe to preview documents? Are there any security issues with its usage?

Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Aastha

Look its correct

1. createContent : function(oController) { 
2.             var html = new sap.ui.core.HTML(); 
3.             html.setContent("<div id=\"divPdf\"><iframe id='pdfFrame' style=\"height:1000px;\"></iframe>"); 
4.             return new sap.m.Page({ 
5.                   title : "PDF View", 
6.                   showNavButton : true, 
7.                   navButtonPress : oController.fnGoback, 
8.                   content : [ html ], 
9.                   footer : new sap.m.Bar({ 
10.                   }) 
11.             }); 
12.       } 

Example application Example-1  and Example-2 and Example-3
