PrizmDoc Viewer v13.11 Release - Updated
Markup Burners
API Reference > PrizmDoc Server REST API > Markup Burners

Introduction

The markup burners REST API is designed to "burn" a markup into a document. NOTE: CAD files are not supported. This API also does not redact PDF annotations.

For application development in .NET, we recommend using the PrizmDoc Server .NET SDK instead of the REST API. See the .NET SDK How to Guides for examples of how to perform markup burning and redaction with the .NET SDK.

Available URLs

URL Description
POST /PCCIS/V1/MarkupBurner Creates and starts a new MarkupBurner.
GET /PCCIS/V1/MarkupBurner/{processId} Gets the status and result of an existing MarkupBurner.
POST /PCCIS/V1/ViewingSession/u{viewingSessionId}/MarkupBurner Starts a new MarkupBurner using the source document of a viewing session and provided markup data as input.
GET /PCCIS/V1/ViewingSession/u{viewingSessionId}/MarkupBurner/{processId} Gets the status of a MarkupBurner for a viewing session.
GET /PCCIS/V1/ViewingSession/u{viewingSessionId}/MarkupBurner/{processId}/Document Gets the output result of a MarkupBurner process for a viewing session.

POST /PCCIS/V1/MarkupBurner

Creates and starts a new MarkupBurner.

A MarkupBurner represents a process that runs on the server to "burn" markup into a document. The "burning" process makes the markup definitions a permanent part of a document. The server process is started by this request then a response is sent. Use the [GET /PCCIS/V1/MarkupBurner/{processId}] URL below to get the status and results of an in-progress or completed MarkupBurner process.

The input required to create a MarkupBurner is two WorkFile objects; one representing the JSON or XML which defines the markup to burn, the other representing the source document on which to burn the markup. Refer to the work file API topic for more information.

A new document is created that contains the burned-in markup. The source document will not be modified. The new document will be made available by a new WorkFile ID.

By default, MarkupBurner objects will be automatically deleted 20 minutes after they are created.

GET /PCCIS/V1/MarkupBurner/{processId}

Gets the status and result of an existing MarkupBurner.

Requests can be sent to this URL repeatedly while state is "processing".

When state is "complete", the new document with burned-in annotations will be made available by a new WorkFile ID in the output.documentFileId. Refer to the work file API topic to find out how to download a WorkFile.

If the markup burning process encountered an error, the state property will be "error", the errorCode property will contain an error code string and output will be null.

POST /PCCIS/V1/ViewingSession/u{viewingSessionId}/MarkupBurner

Starts a new MarkupBurner using the source document of a viewing session and a provided markup data as input. When the asynchronous process is ultimately finished, the output will be a new document which includes the provided markup as part of the document itself (the original source document of the viewing session is left unaltered).

This is a specialized URL which allows you to do markup burning against the source file of an existing viewing session without needing to use the work file API.

This request merely begins the markup burning process. Once started, you poll the status of the process using the [GET /PCCIS/V1/ViewingSession/u{viewingSessionId}/MarkupBurner/{processId}] URL below to know when the process has completed.
