I am looking for APIs to add online document editing features for a web application. Any suggestions? Selection criteria depend on the following factors.
- Editing support for common document formats (doc, docx)
- Support for viewing common document and presentation formats (doc, docx, pdf, ppt, pptx)
- API should be easily accessible from ASP.NET
- We are not looking for data hosting - data / documents will be stored in local storage. The API / Related platform should have some functions for loading documents from the repository, providing the user with a user interface for editing them and saving them back to the repository.
- The editor / view component should be able to track user annotations in a specific part of the document, etc.
One of the options I am evaluating is the Zoho Remote API - http://apihelp.wiki.zoho.com/Zoho-API-Program---Overview.html
What i would like to know
- Any similar APIs (suggestions, links, etc.)
- Any experience (problems, problems) with the Zoho API in ASP.NET
- Common issues when integrating editing / viewing documents in web applications
