PrizmDoc v12.0 - November 15, 2016
What's New for v12.0
| About PrizmDoc > What's New in this Release > What's New for v12.0 |
PrizmDoc v12.0 introduces the following new features:
The E-Signature Viewer now comes with the Form Field Detector, which is able to automatically detect fields in both PDF and raster documents.
To support the Form Field Detector feature on the server, we have added new APIs to our extensive collection of APIs (there's a Form Extractors API for PAS, and a Form Extractors API for PrizmDoc Server). This new set of APIs provides developers with the capability to detect various types of form fields and automatically convert those into PrizmDoc form fields. The product supports processing both PDF Interactive Fields (commonly referred to as AcroForms) and raster documents.
See How to use the Form Field Detector for more information.
The Viewing Client has been modified to manage page memory much more judiciously, making it possible to view very large documents (5000+ pages).
The Viewing Client can now be configured to use the new Server-Side Search functionality, thus enabling text searches in very large documents. The Viewing Client can accommodate large search result sets by paginating and limiting the number of search results displayed in the search pane at one time. This configurable parameter (searchResultsPageLength) is set to display 250 search results on a page by default.
Server-Side Search has also been added to the services, making it possible to do text searches across very large documents (up to thousands of pages). This required the addition of new services to manage this process, and the addition of MongoDB to our installation in order to handle the text indexing we're performing. (Note that this option is configured as OFF by default in v12.0; you must specifically configure your code in order to turn it on.) It is also important to note that in an upcoming release, the Server-Side Search feature will be ON by default, and we will remove the option to choose between search modes. We want to give customers the option to experiment, test, and deploy Server-Side Search and provide feedback before making this a permanent change to the product.
See Working Effectively with Large Documents for details.
Our new Microsoft Office Conversion is an add-on option for PrizmDoc v12.0 Server running on Windows. This new Microsoft Office Conversion service allows you to have native rendering of Microsoft documents in PrizmDoc’s Viewing Client, Content Conversion, and MarkupBurner services. Available as an add-on licensed option to your PrizmDoc Windows product, this enhanced rendering offers a solution for companies that require native rendering of Microsoft Office documents. Initially, this option will be available for PrizmDoc Server running on Windows. MSO Conversion connectivity to PrizmDoc Server running on Linux will be available in a later release.
See Natively Render Microsoft Office Documents for more information.
In PrizmDoc v12.0 there are two new additions to the Viewing Sessions API that control the lifetime of viewing sessions.
The new POST ViewingSession minSecondsAvailable property allows the user to define the lifetime of a viewing session so that it exists beyond the lifetime defined by the default configuration (20 minutes).
The new DELETE ViewingSession API allows the user to remove a viewing session prior to its scheduled expiration time.
