UR Viewer Web · Hosted online

Open the file you were sent.

Open a local PDF, ebook, comic, PPTX, or image in your regular browser. Get the controls that make sense for that kind of content—without installing a specialized viewer first.

The website loads the Viewer. The supported local file stays in your browser tab.

A common PDF task, from start to finish

Received a PDF form by email?

Download it. Open it. Fill it. Sign it. Save it. Send it back.

Email attachmentDownloadViewer WebFill & SignSave PDFAttach to reply
  1. Download the attachment

    In Gmail, Outlook, or another email service, download the PDF to your computer. It will often go to Downloads.

  2. Open UR Viewer Web

    Go to ursuite.app/viewer/ in your normal browser.

  3. Open the PDF

    Choose Open File and select the download, or drag the PDF from File Explorer into Viewer Web.

  4. Fill and sign

    Use Fill & Sign to add text, dates, other form information, checkmarks, and a signature image.

  5. Save the completed PDF

    Save a standard PDF copy to your computer so it is ready to attach.

  6. Send it back

    Return to the original email, reply, attach the saved signed PDF, and send it.

Viewer Web does not connect to Gmail or Outlook. You download the attachment first, then open that local file in the Viewer.

PDF

The user already has a PDF. They need a viewer now.

PDF is everywhere: legal, medical, and government forms; applications; contracts; statements; manuals; articles; books; and scans. UR Viewer Web gives you one practical place to open, read, complete, sign, save, and return it.

Six reading views

  • Single Page Scrolling
  • Two Page
  • Two Page Scrolling
  • Cover
  • Cover Scrolling

Fixed-page views use Fit Page. Scrolling views use Fit Width. The stable page surface supports dependable Fill & Sign work, while scrolling views provide a larger reading option.

Ebooks

Read the book at the size that is comfortable for you.

EPUB and related ebook formats commonly contain reflowable text. Unlike a PDF page, the words are not permanently fixed to a printed layout. They can adapt to the screen, reading width, font, and text size.

An ebook should let the reader enlarge the words, not enlarge the whole interface.

Text that reflows as you read

  • Ctrl+wheel changes text size in 5% steps from 70% to 200%
  • Aa and Ctrl+wheel share one synchronized size and percentage
  • Paragraphs and lines reflow naturally
  • The logical reading position is retained
  • Normal wheel remains available for reading and navigation
  • Fixed-layout EPUB keeps its intended geometry and does not use reflow text sizing

Supported families: EPUB, MOBI, AZW, AZW3/KF8, PRC, FB2, and FB2.ZIP, subject to DRM and encryption restrictions. Converted ebook formats use the same EPUB reading behavior.

Comics

Open a digital book or magazine made from page images.

CBZ, CBR, CB7, and CBT package sequences of images as comic books, graphic novels, illustrated books, magazines, and scanned publications. They are page-image books, so UR Viewer uses book-style layouts.

You should not need a specialized comic reader just to open the book.

Page layouts and original artwork

Use Single Page, Single Page Scrolling, Two Page, Two Page Scrolling, Cover, or Cover Scrolling for one-page reading, continuous reading, traditional spreads, cover-first reading, and magazine-like viewing.

Because the book is fundamentally a collection of original images, UR Viewer Web can also save selected pages or extract the entire book’s page artwork.

Presentations

Received a PPTX and only need to review or present it?

Sometimes you only need to see or present a slide deck. You do not need a full authoring environment just to view it.

Open and review PPTX files, navigate slides, present them fullscreen in Slide Show, and inspect a small chart, diagram, image, or text detail.

Zoom toward the detail

Point toward the detail you want to see and zoom into that area. After zooming, pan across the enlarged slide.

Why PPTX, but not Word and Excel?

PPTX has a strong read-only visual use case once a slide is rendered. DOCX and XLSX depend much more on editing, formulas, pagination, embedded objects, layout fidelity, application-specific formatting, and authoring features. A partial viewer could suggest content is reproduced exactly when it is not, so UR Viewer Web deliberately avoids becoming a partial browser office suite.

Images

Need to inspect a photo, scan, screenshot, or image collection?

Open a photograph, scan, screenshot, or illustration; inspect a detail; view a group; or run a Slide Show. You should not need a full photo organizer or editor simply to inspect a picture or present a collection.

Spatial content gets spatial controls

Use Fit or Actual Size. Move toward the area you want to inspect and zoom directly into that part of the image, then pan across it.

Viewer Web also supports image printing, Save Image, animated GIF playback, and local HEIC/HEIF still-image decoding. HEIC/HEIF sequences, Live Photo video, and HDR presentation are not supported.

A viewer designed around the task

Different files need different viewing behavior.

The controls follow the content instead of forcing every file type into the same viewing model.

Stable page layouts for reading and Fill & Sign.
Ebooks
Reflowable text that changes size for comfortable reading.
Comics
Page-based book and magazine viewing.
Presentations
Slide Show plus focus-centered zoom for visual details.
Images
Slide Show plus focus-centered zoom for visual inspection.
