  2. Begin the installation of PrizmDoc for Windows.
  3. During the installation of PrizmDoc, make sure to select the following options:

 

  1. After the installation, test the sample application in a browser:

The following will route you directly to the Viewing Client sample splash page:

http://localhost:18000/PrizmDoc_HTML5_Viewer_NET_WEBFORMS/

  1. From the splash page you have two options:

Choice of Viewing Client:

Select a sample document -OR- upload a document:                                                    

  1. Full Viewer

If you select Full Viewer on the splash page, then documents will be viewed with the full-featured, out-of-the-box responsive Viewing Client:  

  1. Book Reader

If you select Book Reader on the splash page, then documents will be viewed with the book reader. The book reader demonstrates how the Viewing Client can be heavily customized:

Directory Structure

The samples are installed under C:\prizm\Samples\dotnet\webforms. This folder contains 6 sub-folders, one folder for each of the four samples (full Viewing Client, book reader, e-signer and the e-signer template designer) and two folders for the splash pages (main splash page and the e-sign splash page):

Each of the sample folders are completely self-contained, meaning that they contain all of the files needed to run the sample. Furthermore, with the exception of a few project files and build files, the sample folders contain only the files needed to run the sample.
