The Zero-Footprint HTML5 Viewer does not require any plug-ins in order to function; instead the Viewer relies solely on the functionality built into your web browser. The HTML5 Viewer does rely on several standards and technologies not available in all web browsers on all platforms. Please refer to the System Requirements to get a full list of tested and supported platforms and web browsers.
Built on the Prizm Platform Services back-end, the HTML5 Viewer can display a wide variety of content formats. Adding Annotation, Redaction and Display control features to the HTML5 Viewer allows you greater interaction with your content.
Support for viewing many document types, including Microsoft Office 2007/2010 documents (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx), Office 2000 (.doc, .xls, .ppt), Open Office (.odt, .sxw, .ods, .sxc, .odp, .sxi, .odg), Images (.jpg, .bmp, .png, .gif, .tiff), and Adobe PDF. For a complete list of supported document types, refer to: Supported Document Types.
The ability to search the text content of a document is built into the HTML5 Viewer. The Viewer allows for keyword and phrase searching where the results are highlighted throughout the entire file. Search results can even be predefined when the document loads into the Viewer window using a simple API call. This allows for integrators to pass the search criteria from the content management system into the Viewer, saving users time by not having to perform duplicate searches.
All conversion, rendering and display of documents is done within the server. There is no need for Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, or any other additional software licenses or downloads.
Prizm Content Connect includes annotation tools to allow easy review, collaboration, annotation and markup capabilities right in the Viewer. With an intuitive interface for document viewing and markup, you can streamline the review and approval process, reduce decision-making time, and increase collaboration for your users.
Annotation controls allow you to markup and collaborate on any of the document types supported by Prizm Content Connect. View, markup and annotate all at the same time, all in one place. Using the Review tab, each user can add their own annotations. Users can also open other users annotations, which are stored as separate XML files associated with the original document, allowing the original files to be preserved to help you maintain regulatory compliance. Prizm Content Connect easily integrates with any type of application: Content Management System (CMS), Project Management Solution, as well as Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or Business Process Management (BPM) systems, adding document review workflow capabilities to your existing infrastructure.
The HTML5 viewer is based on HTML templates, which can be completely customized by the developer. The HTML and CSS files are no longer obfuscated and may be edited to suit the specific needs of the application. Menus can be added, removed, or changed with just a few minutes of coding in a very easy-to-understand design. For advanced development, the new Viewer is based entirely on a public API. This gives the developer complete control over the look, feel, and behavior of the viewer and allows the Viewer to extend or replace existing functionality by creating custom controls and behaviors. Developers can subscribe to numerous viewer events, which will support auditing of user interactions.
Prizm Content Connect's Digital Rights Management feature allows you to protect sensitive information in documents by disabling end user controls. Locking user functionality to prevent printing, saving, copying or downloading from the document or any part of the document is easy using the Prizm Content Connect API. Adding digital rights management to a document renders the document as view-only, and also allows you to customize navigation as well as enforcing version control parameters within a work group, across departments, and with partners and suppliers, even outside your firewall.
Digital Rights Management permissions preserve your original document, since they are not stored in the document itself, which is important to help you retain regulatory compliance. If your business needs change, it's easy to dynamically change or revoke access to users.
Prizm Content Connect with Digital Rights Management provides a more productive and secure user experience, with faster conversion and download times across even the highest-volume distributed file sharing environments.
View documents written in any language such as Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Urdu, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Punjabi, Russian, Spanish and Korean. You can also localize tooltips and text in the Viewer using simple API calls and template definitions.
