Displaying Microsoft Office docs in ios view

Question

I've been trying to use the QLPreviewController but it's a little inflexible. It comes with a few extra buttons and some printing option. It's also not modifiable ios6+.

I'm trying to understand whether it's feasible to write my own previewer and if so, if anybody has any insights on how this can be done in an iOS view.

All I want is the ability to show a Microsoft word / excel / ppt, pdf, or maybe even a Google doc in an ios view.

You can actually display those bits in a UIWebView

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:fileName ofType:extension];

NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];

[self.webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
