[GroupDocs.Viewer for Node.js via Java](https://products.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java) allows you to view the contents of archive files in HTML, PDF, PNG, and JPEG formats. You do not need to use third-party file archiver and compression software to display archive file contents within your Node.js application (web or desktop). | ||
|
||
To start using the GroupDocs.Viewer API, create a [Viewer](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer/viewer) class instance. Pass an archive file you want to view to the class constructor. You can load the archive from a file or stream. Call one of the [Viewer.view](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer/viewer/) method overloads to convert the archive file to HTML, PDF, or image format. | ||

||
## Supported archive and compressed file formats | ||
|
||
GroupDocs.Viewer supports the following archive file formats: | ||
|
||
* [.7Z (7-Zip Compressed File)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/7z) | ||
* [.BZ2 (Bzip2 Compressed File)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/bz2) | ||
* [.GZ (Gnu Zipped Archive)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/gz) | ||
* [.RAR (WinRAR Compressed Archive)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/rar) | ||
* [.TAR (Consolidated Unix File Archive)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/tar) | ||
* [.TGZ / .TAR.GZ (Gzipped Tar File)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/tgz/) | ||
* [.TXZ / .TAR.XZ (XZ Compressed Tar Archive)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/xz/) | ||
* [.XZ (XZ Compressed Archive)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/xz/) | ||
* [.ZIP (Zipped File)](https://docs.fileformat.com/compression/zip) | ||
|
||
## Render archive files as HTML | ||
|
||
To convert an archive file to HTML, call the [HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/htmlviewoptions/#forEmbeddedResources--) method to create an [HtmlViewOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/htmlviewoptions) class instance and pass this instance to the [Viewer.view](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer/viewer/) method. | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example1">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("Documents.zip") | ||
// Create an HTML file for top folder and each subfolder in the archive. | ||
// {0} is replaced with the current page number in the file name. | ||
const viewOptions = groupdocs.viewer.HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources("page_{0}.html") | ||
viewer.view(viewOptions) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
The following image demonstrates the result: | ||
|
||
![Render an archive file to HTML](/viewer/nodejs-java/images/rendering-basics/render-archive-files/render-archive-to-html-embedded-resources.png) | ||
|
||
### Specify the number of items to render | ||
|
||
GroupDocs.Viewer supports the [HtmlViewOptions.getArchiveOptions.setItemsPerPage](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/archiveoptions/#setItemsPerPage-int-) method that allows you to specify the number of archive items to display on each HTML page. The default property value is **16**. | ||
|
||
The following example demonstrates how to set this option in code: | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example2">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("Documents.zip") | ||
// Create an HTML file for the top folder and each subfolder in the archive. | ||
// {0} is replaced with the current page number in the output file name. | ||
const viewOptions = groupdocs.viewer.HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources("page_{0}.html") | ||
// Specify the number of items to display on each HTML page. | ||
viewOptions.getArchiveOptions().setItemsPerPage(10) | ||
viewer.view(viewOptions) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
### Create a single HTML page | ||
|
||
If you need to display the contents of an archive file on a single HTML page, use the [HtmlViewOptions.setRenderToSinglePage](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/htmlviewoptions/#setRenderToSinglePage-boolean-) method, as shown below: | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example3">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("Documents.zip") | ||
// Create an HTML file for the top folder and each subfolder in the archive. | ||
// {0} is replaced with the current page number in the output file name. | ||
const viewOptions = groupdocs.viewer.HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources("page_{0}.html") | ||
// Specify the number of items to display on each HTML page. | ||
viewOptions.setRenderToSinglePage(true) | ||
viewer.view(viewOptions) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
The animation below demonstrates the result. You can navigate between the archive folders. Click on a particular folder to see its contents. To go backward, click the required folder name in the navigation bar at the top of the web page. | ||
|
||

|
||
## Render archive files as PDF | ||
|
||
Create a [PdfViewOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/pdfviewoptions) class instance and pass it to the [Viewer.view](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer/viewer/) method to convert an archive file to PDF. The `PdfViewOptions` class properties allow you to control the conversion process. For instance, you can protect the output PDF file or reorder its pages. Refer to the following documentation section for details: [Rendering to PDF]({{< ref "viewer/nodejs-java/developer-guide/rendering-documents/rendering-to-pdf/_index.md" >}}). | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example4">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("Documents.zip") | ||
// Specify the PDF file name. | ||
const viewOptions = groupdocs.viewer.PdfViewOptions("output.pdf") | ||
viewer.view(viewOptions) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
The following image demonstrates the result: | ||
|
||
![Render an archive file to PDF](/viewer/nodejs-java/images/rendering-basics/render-archive-files/render-archive-to-pdf.png) | ||
|
||
## Render archive files as PNG | ||
|
||
Create a [PngViewOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/pngviewoptions) class instance and pass it to the [Viewer.view](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer/viewer/) method to convert an archive file to PNG. Use the [PngViewOptions.setHeight](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/pngviewoptions/#setHeight-int-) and [PngViewOptions.setWidth](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/pngviewoptions/#setWidth-int-) methods to specify the output image size in pixels. | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example5">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("Documents.zip") | ||
// Create a PNG image for the top folder and each subfolder in the archive. | ||
// {0} is replaced with the current page number in the image name. | ||
const viewOptions = groupdocs.viewer.PngViewOptions("output_{0}.png") | ||
// Set width and height. | ||
viewOptions.setWidth(950) | ||
viewOptions.setHeight(550) | ||
viewer.view(viewOptions) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
The following image demonstrates the result: | ||

|
||
## Render archive files as JPEG | ||
|
||
Create a [JpgViewOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/jpgviewoptions) class instance and pass it to the [Viewer.view](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer/viewer/) method to convert an archive file to JPEG. Use the [JpgViewOptions.setHeight](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/jpgviewoptions/#setHeight-int-) and [JpgViewOptions.setWidth](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/jpgviewoptions/#setWidth-int-) methods to specify the output image size in pixels. | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example6">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("Documents.zip") | ||
// Create a JPG image for the top folder and each subfolder in the archive. | ||
// {0} is replaced with the current page number in the image name. | ||
const viewOptions = groupdocs.viewer.JpgViewOptions("output_{0}.jpg") | ||
// Set width and height. | ||
viewOptions.setWidth(950) | ||
viewOptions.setHeight(550) | ||
viewer.view(viewOptions) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
## Obtain information about folders in an archive file | ||
|
||
Follow the steps below to obtain information about folders contained in an archive file. You can use this information to [specify which folder to display in the output file](#render-a-specific-folder). | ||
|
||
1. Create a [ViewInfoOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/viewinfooptions) instance for a specific view. | ||
2. Call the [Viewer.getViewInfo](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer/viewer/#getViewInfo-com.groupdocs.viewer.options.ViewInfoOptions-) method, pass the `ViewInfoOptions` instance to this method as a parameter, and cast the returned object to the [ArchiveViewInfo](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.results/archiveviewinfo/) type. | ||
3. Use the [ArchiveViewInfo.getFolders](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.results/archiveviewinfo/#getFolders--) method to obtain the lists of folders in the archive file. | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example7">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
function readFolders(viewer, viewInfoOptions, folder) { | ||
const innerInfoOptions = viewInfoOptions.forHtmlView() | ||
innerInfoOptions.getArchiveOptions().setFolder(folder) | ||
|
||
const archiveViewInfo = viewer.getViewInfo(innerInfoOptions) | ||
const folders = archiveViewInfo.getFolders() | ||
|
||
for (let i = 0; i < folders.size(); i++) { | ||
console.log(" - ", folders.get(i).toString()) | ||
readFolders(viewer, viewInfoOptions, folders.get(i).toString()) | ||
} | ||
} | ||
|
||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("sample.zip") | ||
|
||
const viewInfoOptions = groupdocs.viewer.ViewInfoOptions.forHtmlView() | ||
const viewInfo = viewer.getViewInfo(viewInfoOptions) | ||
|
||
console.log("File type: " + viewInfo.getFileType()) | ||
console.log("Pages count: " + viewInfo.getPages().size()) | ||
console.log("Folders: ") | ||
console.log(" - /") | ||
const rootFolder = "" | ||
|
||
readFolders(viewer, viewInfoOptions, rootFolder) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
|
||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
The following image shows a sample console output: | ||
|
||
![Get information about an archive file](/viewer/nodejs-java/images/rendering-basics/render-archive-files/retrieve-archive-information.png) | ||
|
||
GroupDocs.Viewer also allows you to list and extract all files contained in the archive. Refer to the following help topics for details: | ||
|
||
* [List attachments](/viewer/nodejs-java/how-to-list-attachments/) | ||
* [Save attachments](/viewer/nodejs-java/how-to-extract-and-save-attachments/) | ||
|
||
## Render a specific folder | ||
|
||
When you convert an archive file to HTML, PDF, or image format, GroupDocs.Viewer renders items from all folders contained in the archive. If you need to render items from a specific folder, use the [ArchiveOptions.setFolder](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/archiveoptions/#setFolder-java.lang.String-) method of one of the following classes (depending on the output file format): | ||
|
||
* [HtmlViewOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/htmlviewoptions) | ||
* [PdfViewOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/pdfviewoptions) | ||
* [PngViewOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/pngviewoptions) | ||
* [JpgViewOptions](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/jpgviewoptions) | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example8">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("Documents.zip") | ||
const viewOptions = groupdocs.viewer.HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources("page_{0}.html") | ||
|
||
viewOptions.getArchiveOptions().setFolder("Documents/CAD files"); | ||
|
||
viewer.view(viewOptions) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
## Specify the archive file name | ||
|
||
When rendering an archive file, GroupDocs.Viewer displays the archive file name in the header of each page. If you need to change or hide this name, use the [ArchiveOptions.setFileName](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/archiveoptions/#setFileName-com.groupdocs.viewer.options.FileName-) method for a target view. You can set this option to one of the following values: | ||
|
||
* [FileName.SOURCE](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/filename/#SOURCE)--- Returns the name of the source file (this name is used by default). | ||
* [FileName.EMPTY](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/filename/#EMPTY)---Specifies an empty name. Use this value to hide the archive file name in the output file. | ||
* A [FileName](https://reference.groupdocs.com/viewer/nodejs-java/com.groupdocs.viewer.options/filename) instance with a custom name you want to display in the output file. | ||
|
||
The following code snippet demonstrates how to use a custom name when rendering an archive file to HTML: | ||
|
||
{{< tabs "example9">}} | ||
{{< tab "JavaScript" >}} | ||
```JavaScript | ||
const viewer = new groupdocs.viewer.Viewer("Documents.zip") | ||
const viewOptions = groupdocs.viewer.HtmlViewOptions.forEmbeddedResources("page_{0}.html") | ||
|
||
const fileName = new groupdocs.viewer.FileName("Sample Files") | ||
viewOptions.getArchiveOptions().setFileName(fileName); | ||
|
||
viewer.view(viewOptions) | ||
``` | ||
{{< /tab >}} | ||
{{< /tabs >}} | ||
|
||
The image below demonstrates the result. | ||
