I am looking for a web based way of showing users tiff, pdf, doc(x), and xls(x) files. This is being required from a business standpoint and I don't have a whole lot of weight/control into the decision being made. The web application will be used by both internal and external customers, not publically available though.

Pricing is not such a big deal right now, the active stakeholders know this is extremely valuable and important. So to a point, pricing does not matter.

I was hoping somebody else's google-fu was better than mine, or knows of a good solution/product that doesn't necessarily have good search engine ranking.

Little more info

I do believe all we will need is a way to view the images. We will not be performing any redaction or annotations. It would be nice to have a thumbnail control to facilitate flipping through many pages (upwards around 100), but this is not required. There will be other controls on the page, so I'm looking for a minimalistic viewer. Being able to customize the navigation buttons/controls would be an added bonus as well. Also this will be developed/deployed using ASP.NET MVC2 on an IIS7 x64 platform.

A silverlight/flash control/solution would also be acceptable.

Current Findings

A: 

There's a partial solution for this that involves converting the various documents into HTML for display (or any other web-capable format) in a web browser. It doesn't satisfy all your requirements but may lead to something useful eventually.

JODConverter offers a server-side java-based solution that leverages OpenOffice.org's powerful converter to convert from any supported format to any other supported format.

From the website:

JODConverter, the Java OpenDocument Converter, converts documents between different office formats. It leverages OpenOffice.org, which provides arguably the best import/export filters for OpenDocument and Microsoft Office formats available today

I've used it successfully to convert documents from MSWord to HTML for display in the browser. Any format that OpenOffice supports is supported by JODConverter. So PDF, MS formats, TIFF and others are supported.

It's java so it's platform independent - I've used it on a Windows, Mac and Linux server.
