Document Viewer

Is there any plugin in AEM to view documents like pdf , word, excel inside author instance DAM ?

Out of the box - the answer is no. Assets are stored in DAM. Assets like an Excel file cannot be viewed from within the DAM. 

However - you can build a custom script to view Excel, etc in an AEM page. See this stackoverflow thread for more information:
