Question

I would like to integrate a viewer tool for viewing files in PDF, MS Excel, and MS Word formats. I am developing a website that store manuals on our server and I would like visitors to be able to view these manuals online instead of downloading. I found a tool named ViewerJS that can view PDF and Open Documents online. However the tool doesn't support Microsoft Office.

Must support displaying at least:
.pdf
.docx
.xlsx
Prefer Open Source and Gratis
Licensed software with price up to $2000USD would possibly work.

Explanation / Answer

Following on from Steve Barnes suggestion, JODReports sits on top of Open Office and Libre Office so can take a fair bit of the leg work out of driving Open Office / Libre Office via the API. The conversions are often surprisingly good, but you'd have to run some tests to determine if that works for your documents well enough.
