[Upgrade ]Do you plan to support additional Microsoft formats?

Open chihung93 opened this issue 7 years ago • 4 comments

Hello, I am very interested in this project. Do you plan to support additional Microsoft formats?

All of the document rendering is handled by 2 backend libraries:

  • mupdf (which provides most of the format support: pdf, epub, etc.)
  • djvu

There are no plans to add more backends at the moment, and I'm not aware of any good candidate libraries that render documents to images. e.g. there don't seem to be any for .docx. Which formats are you interested in?

@ericwa 👍 1.I wanna add .doc/.docx format, so I will try using Apache POI - the Java API for Microsoft Documents for this library.Do you have any other suggestions?

2.I do not know how to add 2 libraries to Android. I have read through the documentation, but Documents are unclear or may be due to insufficient experience., do you have any tutorials for this?

P.s: I would like to give you star for your libs. Thank you so much.

Doc formats are supported by a number of eBook readers, check CoolReader and FBReader
