Uh oh!

The open-source File Viewer is great for broad, browser-side preview. But some business files are brutal: old DOC/XLS/PPT files, contracts with complicated layouts, huge spreadsheets, and slides that must keep their pagination. Pretending one renderer is perfect for both cases would be dishonest.
So we are shipping Flyfish Office Preview, a separate commercial Office engine for teams that need stronger Word, Excel, and PowerPoint fidelity, private deployment, source licensing, and integration support.
It can replace the Office rendering path inside a File Viewer integration. The rest of the viewer can stay the same.
Try the live demo with a real, sanitized business file.
The open-source edition stays Apache-2.0 and keeps moving. This is not a paywall around it. It is an honest answer for teams whose release depends on difficult Office files and a clear support path.
I would love blunt feedback: what breaks first in your production documents - layout, fonts, pagination, legacy formats, or file size?
