When you’re building a modern .NET application—whether it’s an ASP.NET MVC portal, a Blazor front-end, or an internal .NET Core dashboard—one challenge appears again and again: users want to open any document instantly, without losing formatting, without downloading files, and without depending on external software. PDFs, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, emails, images—every team touches dozens of formats daily.
Doconut was created to simplify that entire experience.
It centralizes your document workflows into a single, server-side viewing and conversion platform that supports 50+ formats, annotations, OCR search, and cloud storage integration. No client-side installations. No browser plugins. No inconsistent rendering. Just a clean, predictable integration for every .NET developer.
Why Doconut Is the Ultimate Document Viewer & Converter for .NET
Doconut is a complete document rendering engine for .NET, built for businesses that need consistency, security, and performance across all document types. It displays PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets, CAD drawings, images, and more—directly in the browser—with all processing handled on the server.
This approach solves some of the biggest pain points in enterprise environments:
- No more installing viewers or desktop software
- No “different browsers, different results” issues
- Sensitive files remain inside your infrastructure
- Users see documents exactly the same way, every time
It’s a single, unified solution that replaces multiple third-party tools.
Server-Side PDF ↔ DOCX Conversion for ASP.NET
Doconut includes a high-accuracy conversion engine that works seamlessly across ASP.NET MVC, WebForms, .NET Core, and Blazor. It handles:
- PDF ↔ DOCX
- Excel ↔ PDF
- PowerPoint → images
- CAD (DWG/DXF) → PDF or PNG
- EML/MSG → PDF or HTML
Because every conversion is stream-based, memory remains consistently low—perfect for portals, batch operations, and automated workflows.
Embedding Doconut Viewer in Blazor Applications
Blazor developers get a responsive, full-featured viewer out of the box:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Responsive UI | Looks great on desktop, tablet, and mobile |
| Zoom, Rotate, Flip | Intuitive, smooth navigation |
| Thumbnail Navigation | Quick access to any page |
| Annotations | Comments, highlights, shapes, and markups |
You can build dashboards, portals, case-management tools, and training platforms with the document viewer directly inside your Blazor component tree.
