Moodle Docs Viewer bởi JZul

Moodle Docs Viewer lets you view Word documents (.docx) directly in your browser when using Moodle, without downloading them to your computer first.

The Problem

When you click on a Word document in Moodle, it typically downloads to your computer, requiring you to open it with Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, or another application. This is slow, clutters your downloads folder, and can be frustrating when you just want to quickly preview a syllabus, assignment instructions, or course reading.

The Solution

This extension intercepts clicks on .docx files in Moodle and opens them in a clean, built-in document viewer right in your browser. The document is fetched using your existing Moodle session, so it works seamlessly with your logged-in account—no extra authentication needed.

Features

• View Word documents instantly without downloading
• Works with authenticated Moodle sessions (your login is preserved)
• Clean, distraction-free document viewer
• Zoom controls (50% to 200%) for comfortable reading
• Download button to save the original file when needed
• Print support for documents
• Keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/Cmd + P to print, +/- to zoom)
• Configurable file size limits
• No data collection—everything stays in your browser

How It Works

When you click a .docx link on Moodle, the extension fetches the document using your browser's session cookies (preserving your authentication), then renders it locally using the docx-preview library. No external servers are involved—the document never leaves your browser.

Privacy

This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. Documents are processed entirely within your browser and cleared from temporary storage after viewing.
