  • iframe should work. Not sure what you mean that it only works for "publicly available documents", it seems like it should be obvious that you can only iframe documents that you have access to – WilliamNHarvey May 22 '18 at 19:56

  • Tried that but the host should be exposed to outside.any other options other than using google doc or microsoft view? – AKR May 23 '18 at 12:27

You can use iframe tag of html as following: 

 const YOUR_URL = https://calibre-ebook.com/downloads/demos/demo.docx;
 
 <iframe
   className="doc"
   src={`https://docs.google.com/gview?url=${YOUR_URL}&embedded=true`}
 />
