It is not directly possible. You will have to use a Salesforce CRM Content(https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=content_about.htm&language=en_US&type=0) to that:
Previewing:
In Salesforce CRM Content you do not need to download a large document to determine if its content is relevant to you. The content details page provides document details at a glance, including document title, author, description, tags, libraries, comments, votes, versions, subscribers, and downloads. If the document is a Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, Excel, or Adobe® PDF file, you can preview the entire file in your browser without downloading it. Some aspects of files may not be displayed in previews. Copy-protected PDFs can't be previewed.
There are some tricky solutions but generally it is not supported by Visualforce:
- Document preview with Visualforce (http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/4715/document-preview-with-visualforce)
- Content Previewer in Visualforce(https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F000000099NrIAI)
Hope this helps.Best Regards,
