i’m passing sharepoint file url of type .docx with credentials for authentication but it shows me error for format not supported.
For reference i’m sharing stack trace with you. It seems that it interpret this file as excel workbook.
Interesting thing is that when the same file i tried to open from local location after download it. Viewer works totally fine

We are sorry to hear that you have such issue. First and most important thing that you should know is that that the SharePoint store all documents in the DB and since that you can’t view document via URL. To view the file you have two possible ways:
1. Store document locally as you did
2. Get document stream from URL and then use this stream in the Viewer as described here
In case that you need more help please share with us document URL if it accessible from the internet and Viewer widget code.
In fact my issue is resolved but one thing is little strange for me. When i give some other file type url of sharepoint file to your library like Excel or Txt file. It works fine, when i open docx file with it, it gives me file not supported error.
Can you give above exception detail to your developers? So that they may check against it. As exception shows that your library recognize .docx file as an Excel file. Which could be the cause of that problem.
Thank you for your request. Our library works well with all supported file types. The reason of your issue is in the SharePoint inner processes, how it stores different file types and how it works with them.
Also in case using stream in the Viewer, the .Stream option have very important parameter “string fileExtension” it should be set to correct and appropriate file extension for current file.
Yes i know the list of supported file types, but i’m telling you what i experienced.
if there is a Sharepoint issue then it shouldn’t open any file from sharepoint but interesting thing is that it open even [.doc] type as well and fail to open [.docx]
Following are the types which i have tested with overloaded URL method
i.e. Url ( docUrl, username, pwd, domain) and there results are:
Working Types:
.doc
.xlsx
.xls
.txt
.ppt
Not Working Types:
.docx
.pptx
Since its a new feature so I think, it couldn’t support some of the file types. It would be appreciate, if you could help me out of this. We are trying to make it a part of Sharepoint and this product will extensively use in it.
Thank you for this info. I will transfer it to our Product team and they will check what we can do with it. When I will have any news for you I will notify you.
We have provided an investigation for the issue and found out that we can successfully open our docx document. We have tested it under admin account of the SharePoint. Also in the SharePoint Admin we have added internal URL for the intenet access to the SharePoint demo site as shown on these screenshots:
