Universal Viewer vs Diva vs Mirador vs OpenSeadragon

Omeka S Modules
1

Hi, Iā€™m used to implement OpenSeadragon in other CMS-based projects and I appreciate to have such a choice of viewer modules in Omeka-S.

Based on your own experience, which of them did/would you choose depending on the use case? For example, did someone face the case where he/she had to embed IIIF-served images as well as PDF and Office documents in a unique viewer?

I think your answers may be of great help for newcomers like me :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello,
you can use Octopus Viewer, this plugin gathers all your Omeka S media in a lightweight viewer, it could use Mirador and open seadragon and has a pdf viewer.
So you can visualise images, pdf, IIIF Image with a unique viewer, and if you want in a unique item.

Thank you @cjoyet and @Sharonleon for the info about this viewer. Has anyone an experience to share about it?
Concerning Office documents, did someone implement a solution?
