Handling PDFs, Spreadsheets and other production documentation

We are looking to use AYON to house production documentation, like pdfs of count sheets, and reference docs, spreadsheets etc.

I’ve tried defining a custom product type for PDFs in Tray Publisher → Simple Create Plugins, which allowed to publish these items into the database, but I can’t then view them using standard browser functionality. Writing an entire add-on to open a pdf seems a bit much. Am I missing something here?

The player on the AYON server is designed to show images and videos. you can see a list of supported formats here.

Feel free to request supporting viewing like pdfs on our feedback portal.
