Customization Overview

The Viewer offers several ways to customize the Viewer, from quick integrations with minimal configuration to complete control over the Viewer API. Tabs and basic DRM functions such as printing, text selection, and document download can be quickly hidden using configuration parameters.

It's very simple to reorganize menus, add/remove tabs, and customize the look of the Viewer by allowing the developer to edit markup and css. All viewer functionality is built on top of the Viewer API, allowing complete control over all viewer functions.

Configuration Options

The Viewer UI and behavior can be configured when the Viewer is embedded; using JavaScript parameters you can set the following:

Displaying/Hiding Tabs and DRM functions
Enabling Content Encryption
Using a Custom Resource Path
Localizing the Viewer
How to use Predefined Search
Digital Rights Management Configuration

Customizing Markup and Styles

If the Viewer needs to be customized more than configuration options allow, all UI code is open-source and can be modified to change the following:

Reorganizing Menus
Creating a Custom Tab
Changing annotation default values
Changing the position of the menu bar
Customizing Styles (css)

Viewer API

Creating and destroying the viewer
Events
Page navigation
Zooming and fitting content
Mark (annotation and redaction) CRUD
Markup saving and loading
