Customer wants to view office documents in the BAW instead of downloading them.
Would be extremely helpful to be able to view additional MIME types - i.e. docx, xlsx, pptx, etc - from within BAW. This would be a big differentiator for BAW against some other products and solutions our client is evaluating.

The dated community toolkit mentioned here: https://www.ibm.com/community/automation/resources/daeja-document-viewer/
The dated community toolkit mentioned has the following limitations:
it is provided AS-IS and not supported
it does not expose JS API that allows dynamic manipulation of annotation.
It requires deploying a custom EAR file in WAS application server which is not compatible with BAW on cloud using tWAS deployment and container deployment.
We have customer requirements as follows :
Daeja Viewer as first class citizen in Content Toolkit and accessible via Process Designer Coach UI designer.
Ability to embed Daeja Viewer as a Coach view side and layout by-by-side other Coach view e.g. a Form.
Ability to use JS API exposed by Daeja Viewer to perform dynamic annotations driven by user interactions on the coach UI. E.g. ability to show/hide field annotation in document as user moves across the coach form fields

+1. The File Viewer is nothing more than an iFrame. BAW needs a powerful viewer like Daeja.
