Hi,

For in-browser viewing, DSpace 7 or 8 has two main options:

* The "Media Viewer" which can support any image/video files (any with MIME 
Type starting with "image/" or "video/").  See 
https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/User+Interface+Configuration#UserInterfaceConfiguration-MediaViewerSettings
* The IIIF image viewer, which supports image formats only.  See 
https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/IIIF+Configuration

All other formats, DSpace will just send directly to your browser when you 
download the file.  However, depending on your browser's settings, some of 
these file formats may still open in your browser (if the browser knows how 
to open them).  For instance, many browser's will open PDF files 
automatically, but they may only download Word files.

I'm not aware of any way to do "bulk selection of records for printing" in 
DSpace.  I'm unclear what that references though.
