# Format, viewers and editors

## Supported file formats

By default, Cooperlink accepts any type of file except files that risk compromising security (e.g. .exe, .vb, .js, ...). The list of authorized files is adaptable per client.

## Embedded viewers

Cooperlink has viewers for the most common document formats:

- PDF files
- Office files (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
- Image files
- CAD/BIM (DWG, IFC, RVT, ...)
- External viewers. Some viewers are available as 3rd party in Cooperlink (eg. Autodesk Forge). These last may require a separate licence.
