First you need to download file and save in local storage. And one more thing is .do file is not supposed. So you have to take sure that your file is .docx or .pdf .

You can try this way :

func previewController(_ controller: QLPreviewController, previewItemAt index: Int) -> QLPreviewItem {

    // ---- First way -----
    guard let strPath =  Bundle.main.path(forResource: "demo.docx", ofType: nil) else { return "" as! QLPreviewItem }
    //guard let strPath =  Bundle.main.path(forResource: "demo", ofType: "docx") else { return "" as! QLPreviewItem }
    let filePath = "file://\(strPath)"
    let url = URL(string: filePath)

    // ---- Second way -----
    guard let strPath =  Bundle.main.path(forResource: "demo.docx", ofType: nil) else { return "" as! QLPreviewItem }
    //guard let strPath =  Bundle.main.path(forResource: "demo", ofType: "docx") else { return "" as! QLPreviewItem }
    let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: strPath)

    return url as QLPreviewItem
}
