HTML5 Viewer

Overview

The PCC HTML5 Viewer allows users to view, navigate, annotate and redact documents. The components that control the behavior and interaction of documents are located either on the navigation bar or within the toolbox menu. The toolbox is broken into three distinct tabs: Search, View, Thumbnails and Annotate and Redact. Each tab contains a unique set of controls that allow users to interact with a document.

The viewer is a jQuery component that is comprised of JavaScript, HTML, CSS and utilizes jQuery and jQuery UI. The HTML5 Viewer is ideally suited for both desktop and mobile applications.
