Limitations

These are current known limitations that may be of interest for considering docspell at the moment. Hopefully they will be resolved eventually….

• Only PDF files possible for now.
• The PDF view in the Web-UI relies on the browsers capabilities. Sadly, not all browsers can display PDF files. Some may require extra plugins. And it's especially sad, that mobile browsers wont't display the files. It works with the major desktop browsers (firefox, chromium), though.
