Customization Examples

The Viewing Client offers several ways to customize the Viewing Client, from quick integrations with minimal configuration to complete control over the Viewing Client API. Tabs and basic DRM functions such as printing, text selection, and document download can be quickly hidden using configuration parameters.

It's very simple to reorganize menus, add/remove tabs, and customize the look of the Viewing Client by allowing the developer to edit markup and css. All Viewing Client functionality is built on top of the Viewing Client API, allowing complete control over all Viewing Client functions.

Configuration Options

The Viewing Client UI and behavior can be configured when the Viewing Client is embedded; using JavaScript parameters you can set the following:

Displaying/Hiding Tabs and DRM functions
Enabling Content Encryption
Using a Custom Resource Path
Localizing the Viewing Client
How to use Predefined Search
Digital Rights Management Configuration

Customizing Markup and Styles

If the Viewing Client needs to be customized more than configuration options allow, all UI code is open-source and can be modified to change the following:

Reorganizing Menus
Creating a Custom Tab
Changing annotation default values
Changing the position of the menu bar
Customizing Styles (css)
