Methods

<static> pccViewer(options) → {PCCViewer.Viewer}

Creates and embeds a new viewer in the first element of the set of matched elements.

Each call to this method will create and return a unique ViewerControl object. This will call PCCViewer.Viewer#destroy on any existing viewer embedded in the selected element.

If plugin options are provided, then a new viewer is created in the selected element and a PCCViewer.Viewer object is returned. This will call PCCViewer.Viewer#destroy on any viewer that already existed in the selected element.

If plugin options are not provided, then a viewer is not created. Instead, the PCCViewer.Viewer object associated with an existing viewer is returned.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Argument	Description
options	jQuery.fn.pccViewer~Options	<optional>	Plugin options.

Returns:

Type

PCCViewer.Viewer

Example

//Note: these are already included in the PCC Samples
var pluginOptions = {
    documentID: viewingSessionId,       // documentID is a required property
    language: languageItems             // language is a required property
};

$(document).ready(function () {
    // Creates a new viewer in the div with id="viewer1"
    var viewer = $("#viewer1").pccViewer(pluginOptions);

    // Can also access the returned object through the plugin.
    var viewerA = $("#viewer1").pccViewer();  // Does not create a new viewer.
    viewerA === viewer;                       // true
});

pccViewer~LanguageOptions

This object is the contents of the language.json file present in all of the HTML5 viewer samples. This file is generally read server-side and passed into the jQuery plugin. It is strongly encouraged to keep a copy of the original file before doing any edits or translations. This object is required by the viewer UI.

For more information on this language file or localization, please consult the help section titled "Localizing the Viewer".

Type:

• Object

The following will only include options specific to the jQuery plugin and the Viewer UI functionality inside the viewer.js file.

Each Object in the array has the following options for properties:

pccViewer~Options~predefinedSearch~term

Properties:

Name	Type	Argument	Default	Description
searchTerm	string			The term to use for search. If used along with userDefinedRegex, this becomes the name of the Regular Expression, while the Regular Expression is used to perform the search.

options	Object	<optional>		This is the same options object, overriding the settings in globalOptions for this specific term.

For example, "/Pa(\w+)/ig" will become "Pa(\w+)". When special characters (ex: backslash) are used in the "userDefinedRegex" field, they need to be properly escaped. For example, for searching words that begins with "Pa", the regular expression will be "Pa(\w+)", this regular expression should be properly escaped like this "Pa(\w+)". All patterns use the Global (g) flag.
selected	boolean	<optional>	false	Whether or not this term is selected in the Patterns menu by default. This property must be set to true if you expect to use this search terms along with searchOnInit: true.
