Class: ConversionRequest

(protected) new ConversionRequest()

The ConversionRequest object is created when converting a document using PCCViewer.ViewerControl#convertDocument.

The ConverstionRequest is a thenable object, which allows Promise-like interactions. Calling the PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#then method will return a PCCViewer.Promise object. On successful conversion, the Promise success method, if added, is called with the url to download the converted document. On a conversion failure, the Promise is rejected.

The ConversionRequest object also provides an event subscription method, to get notified of other types of information. See PCCViewer.ConversionRequest.EventType.

Note: This constructor should not be used directly. Instead, a ConversionRequest is created by a call to PCCViewer.ViewerControl#convertDocument.

Example

function onSuccessfulConvert(convertedDocumentUrl) {
   alert("convertedDocumentUrl = " + convertedDocumentUrl);
   console.log(convertedDocumentUrl);
}

function onFailedConvert(error) {
  alert("burn Process failed, reason:" + (error.message ? error.message : error));
}

// A ConversionRequest object is created by and returned from the call to the ViewerControl#convertDocument method
var conversionRequest = viewerControl.convertDocument();
conversionRequest.then(onSuccessfulConvert, onFailedConvert);

//register some events
conversionRequest
  .on(PCCViewer.ConversionRequest.EventType.ConversionCompleted,
      function(ev) {
          alert("Document conversion completed.");
      })
  .on(PCCViewer.ConversionRequest.EventType.ConversionProgress,
      function(event) {
          alert("Conversion progress: " + event.percent + "%");
      })
  .on(PCCViewer.ConversionRequest.EventType.ConversionFailed,
      function(event) {
          alert("Document conversion failed.");
      });

See:

(readonly) convertedDocumentDownloadURL :string|null

PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#getConvertedDocumentDownloadURL

Example

var downloadUrl = conversionRequest.convertedDocumentDownloadURL;

(readonly) errorCode :number

Gets the errorCode if there is a failure during conversion process.

This property is defined on all ConversionRequest objects.

Type:

number

See:

PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#getErrorCode

Example

var errorCode = conversionRequest.errorCode;

(readonly) options :Object

Gets the options that were provided/used to convert the document.

This property is defined on all ConversionRequest objects.

Type:

Object

See:

PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#getOptions

Example

var options = conversionRequest.options;

(readonly) progress :number

Gets the current estimate of the conversion process progress.

This property is defined on all ConversionRequest objects.

Type:

number

See:

PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#getProgress

Example

var percentProgress = conversionRequest.progress;

(readonly) workerID :number

Gets the worker ID.

This property is defined on all ConversionRequest objects.

Type:

number

See:

PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#getWorkerID

Example

var percentProgress = conversionRequest.workerID;

Methods

cancel() → {PCCViewer.ConversionRequest}

Cancels the conversion request. The PCCViewer.Promise object that is returned will be rejected. If the user cancels the operation, then a PCCViewer.Error object will be returned as the rejection reason and its code property will be set to UserCancelled.

Returns:

The cancelled request.

Type: PCCViewer.ConversionRequest

Example

var conversionRequest = viewerControl.convertDocument();
conversionRequest.cancel();

getConvertedDocumentDownloadURL() → {string|null}

Gets a URL for a web tier service to download the converted document.

Returns:

Returns a URL to download the converted document. If called before the process completes, or after the process fails, it will return null.

Type: string | null

Example

var conversionRequest = viewerControl.convertDocument();
var convertedUrl = conversionRequest.getConvertedDocumentDownloadURL();

getErrorCode() → {string}

Gets the error code for the conversion request, in cases where the request has failed.

Returns:

A value for programmatic identification of an error condition, or null if an error has not occurred.

Type: string

Example

var conversionRequest = viewerControl.convertDocument();
var errorCode = conversionRequest.getErrorCode();

getOptions() → {Object}

Gets a copy of the options object used by the conversion request.

The original options object has been provided to the method PCCViewer.ViewerControl#convertDocument. If no options object was provided to convertDocument, or the options object did not define all properties, then the returned object will represent the actual options used.

Returns:

A copy of the conversion options object which is used by this conversion request.

targetExtension {string} - (optional) Whether to convert the signatures.
filename {string} - (optional) The format to which the document will be converted.

Type: Object

Example

var conversionRequest = viewerControl.convertDocument();
var options = conversionRequest.getOptions();

getProgress() → {number}

Gets the currently known conversion progress value.

Returns:

A number between 0 and 100 (inclusive). A value of 100 means the conversion process completed.

Type: number

Example

var conversionRequest = viewerControl.convertDocument();
var percent = conversionRequest.getProgress();

getWorkerID() → {string|null}

Gets the ID of the PCCIS ContentConverter performing conversion.

Returns:

The ID of the PCCIS ContentConverter performing conversion. Returns null before the worker is created.

Type: string | null

Example

var conversionRequest = viewerControl.convertDocument();
var workerId = conversionRequest.getWorkerID();

off(eventType, handler) → {PCCViewer.ConversionRequest}

Unsubscribe an event handler from a specified event type.

Typically, an event is unsubscribed when you no longer want further notification of the event.

Parameters:

Name Type Description

Name	Type	Description
`eventType`	string	A string specifying the event type. See PCCViewer.ConversionRequest.EventType for a list and description of all supported events.
`handler`	PCCViewer.Event~eventHandler	A function that was attached previously to the `ViewerControl`. Note: This must be the same function object previously passed to PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#on. It cannot be a different object that is functionally equivalent.

eventType

string

A string specifying the event type. See PCCViewer.ConversionRequest.EventType for a list and description of all supported events.

handler

PCCViewer.Event~eventHandler

A function that was attached previously to the ViewerControl.

Note: This must be the same function object previously passed to PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#on. It cannot be a different object that is functionally equivalent.

See:

PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#on
PCCViewer.ViewerControl#off for more details on unsubscribing event handlers.

Returns:

The ConversionRequest object on which this method was called.

Type: PCCViewer.ConversionRequest

on(eventType, handler) → {PCCViewer.ConversionRequest}

Subscribe an event handler to an event of a specified type.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`eventType`	string	A string that specifies the event type. This value is case-insensitive. See PCCViewer.ConversionRequest.EventType for a list and description of all supported events.
`handler`	PCCViewer.Event~eventHandler	A function that will be called whenever the event is triggered.

See:

PCCViewer.ConversionRequest#off
PCCViewer.ViewerControl#on for more details on event subscription.

Returns:

The ConversionRequest object on which this method was called.

Type: PCCViewer.ConversionRequest

then(onFulfilledopt, onRejectedopt) → {PCCViewer.Promise}

On successful conversion, the onFulfilled callback(s) are called with the URL to download the converted document.

On a conversion failure, the onRejected callback(s) are called with a PCCViewer.Error.

Multiple onFulfilled or onRejected callbacks can be registered for the same ConversionRequest by calling this method multiple times.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
`onFulfilled`	PCCViewer.Promise~onFulfilled	<optional>	Called if or when the promise is resolved. Optionally pass a value of `null` or `undefined` if you do not use this callback, but you want to provide an onRejected callback.
`onRejected`	PCCViewer.Promise~onRejected	<optional>	Called if or when the promise is rejected.

Returns:

A promise object that is resolved according to the Promises/A+ standard.

Type: PCCViewer.Promise

Example

var viewerControl = $("#myElement").pccViewer(...).viewerControl;

// a basic example
viewerControl.convertDocument().then(
    function onFulfilled(url) {
       // download document using `url`
    },
    function onRejected(error) {
        // Handle failure
    }
);
