Mark, Not exactly. I am suggesting embedding one viewer within the item-summary-view-DIM, a viewer that shows up specifically for the PDF mime type. It would be great to do it for those other for formats, but as you point out, it's against Google's terms of service.
For what it's worth, I think you guys at @mire have a much, much better solution. For institutions that cannot afford it, the DIY Google viewer solution I suggested might be helpful. I have you to thank for suggesting that approach to embedding objects, by the way. I think you mentioned before that embedding videos using the HTML5 video tag could be achieved in XMLUI using stylesheet transformations. It was a great idea. There are all sorts of mime-type specific things that can be embedded using stylesheets.

You should be able to simply make changes to your theme.xsl file to enable it (and perhaps messages.xml). No java coding would be necessary using this method. I'm pondering googles terms of service here: http://docs.google.com/viewer/TOS?hl=en <http://docs.google.com/viewer/TOS?hl=en>Specifically... You may not use the Service to develop a visual document search and preview application which embeds multiple uses of the Google Docs Viewer in a single webpage for DOC, DOCX, or PPTX filetypes. Sounds somewhat like what is being proposed. regards, Mark p.s. Please excuse a shameless but "on topic" plug... We do provide an affordable option for document streaming / Page turning on XMLUI ( http://atmire.com/docstreaming.php ). Our latest version works within DSpace, creating individual pages for the viewer and storing them internally. -- Mark R.
