Document Viewer Pane

Within the Document Viewer Pane, a user is able to view and manipulate images of document pages.

The fully-featured ActiveX DocuPhase Document Image Viewer has a broad range of image and annotation viewing and updating capabilities that are explained in the following sections.

      The Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) web-browser can use either the HTML5 Lightweight Viewer or the DocuPhase Heavyweight Viewer when the preference setting is unchecked (i.e., Off), as shown below.

 

      Other browsers such as Google’s Chrome, Apple’s Safari and Mozilla’s Firefox web-browsers can only use the full-functionality HTML5 Lightweight Viewer.

 

Examples of functions performed within the Document Viewer Pane using the Heavyweight DocuPhase Viewer include:

      Document navigation for pages and on page images.

      Make annotations on Document page images.

      Zoom in and Zoom out to change magnification on Document page images

      DPI awareness makes annotation Text Sizes consistent with user preferences.

      Rotate Documents.

      Able to find, extract and show text content (i.e., Full Text) from within the displayed image, locally print individual or multiple pages of Documents.

      Scan Documents to append to the current Document in the Viewer Pane.

      Locally email selected pages of a Document or the entire Document.

The Document Viewer Pane contains the Top Toolbar, the Document image, the Bottom Toolbar with thumbnail/book view options, and the Page Scroll.

The Document Viewer Pane Toolbars provide access to the functionality of the Document Viewer Pane.  The toolbars become active once an image is loaded.

          users.
