# View Documents

To convert a document into HTML, use the View action. For example:

    http://ViewHost:ViewPort/action=View&Reference=DocumentReference

where:

`ViewHost` | is the name or IP address of the host on which the View component runs.
`ViewPort` | is the View component ACI port.
- `DocumentReference` | is the full reference of the document that you want to view. The reference can be: A document in the local file system, for example:
      Reference=C:\Documents\report.doc
- A document on an intranet site, for example:
      Reference=//intranet/report.doc
- A Web page or document accessible on the Internet, for example:
      Reference=http://news.bbc.co.uk
NOTE: You can also upload a file to view. See View an Uploaded Document.

For a full list of parameters available, see the View action reference.
