Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Crocodoc?
Crocodoc thrives on any site that hosts documents. Using Crocodoc, you can:
  • Remove direct download links that take users off-site and require them to run Adobe Acrobat or Microsoft Word.
  • Replace Flash-based document viewers hampered by slow performance and lack of mobile device support.
  • Add commenting, markup, and PDF export functionality to existing documents.
Is Crocodoc a document editor?
Not in the traditional sense. Crocodoc is not intended for directly editing documents like you would in Google Docs or Microsoft word. Rather, its collaboration tools allow users to add comments and markups in a layer on top of the document.
This allows Crocodoc to act as a universal document viewer while providing a unified set of collaboration tools and preserving the original format of each document.
What is HTML5?
HTML5 and CSS3 are new web standards that power Crocodoc’s viewing and collaboration tools. They allow Crocodoc to display documents as native web pages with virtually no loss in quality compared to the original.
Because Crocodoc uses HTML5 instead of Flash to display documents, users have the benefit of significantly improved speed and security, as well as upcoming support for mobile devices.
