// Search on a single term with default options
var searchRequest = viewerControl.clientSearch("Hello");

// Subscribe to the PartialSearchResultsAvailable event to get search results as they become available.
searchRequest.on('PartialSearchResultsAvailable', function(_event) {
    // Get the newly available search results.
    var newResults = _event.partialSearchResults;
});

// Search on multiple terms and specify options

documentHasText() → {PCCViewer.Promise}

Indicates whether or not any pages in the document have text. This method returns a promise, which can resolve at an indefinite time. This promise will resolve at the first instance of finding text in the document, but will not actively search for text if none is yet found. Unless this promise has resolved, the user should assume that the document does not contain text.

For example, in a 100 page document, where only page 80 has text, this promise will not resolve until the user views page 80. If the document were to have no text at all, the promise will not resolve until all 100 pages were viewed by the user.

The successful callback be passed only a boolean indicating whether the document has any text or not.

Returns:

a Promise object.

Type: PCCViewer.Promise

Example

var promise = viewerControl.documentHasText().then(
    function success(containsTextBool){
        alert('Document has text: ' + (containsTextBool ? 'Yes' : 'No'));
    },
    function fail(error){
        alert('Document has text: unknown due to error "' + error.message + '"');
    }
);

Several of the ViewerControl's methods require that the ViewerControl has loaded the text for the page. These methods will not work if the text for the target page(s) is not loaded. This set of methods includes:

The ViewerControl may delay loading of text for a page, so it is not safe to assume that the ViewerControl has text for a page when ViewerReady is triggered. However, if you have gotten page text through the viewer, then it is safe to assume the viewer has text for the page. For example, if you get text through a SearchResult generated by PCCViewer.ViewerControl#search or by calling PCCViewer.ViewerControl#requestPageText, then the viewer will have loaded page text from the server.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`pageNumber`	number	The method checks if page text is ready for this page number.

See:

Throws:

If the pageNumber argument is less than 1 or greater than the page count of the document.

Returns:

A value indicating if the ViewerControl has loaded text for a page from the server.

Type: boolean

Example

if (!viewerControl.isPageTextReady(1)) {
    viewerControl.requestPageText(1).then(
        function(pageText) {
            highlightSomeText({
                startIndex: 0,
                length: pageText.length
            });
        }
    );
} else {
    // Note that it's pretty silly to blindly highlight text, you would almost always want to know
    // the text tht you are trying to highlight before calling the API to set the position. But, this is just
    // an example to demonstrate when you don't *have* to request the page text.
    highlightSomeText({startIndex: 0, length: 5});
}

// Note: an alternative to the if-else above, would be to always call requestPageText, which will immediately resolve
// if the viewer already has page text. Using this approach, you don't need to call `isPageTextReady`.
// viewerControl.requestPageText(1).then(
//     function(pageText) {
//          highlightSomeText({
//              startIndex: 0,
//              length: pageText.length
//          });

setConversationDOMFactory(factoryFunction) → {PCCViewer.ViewerControl}

Sets the conversation DOM factory function.

Parameters:

Name Type Description

factoryFunction

function

This function returns a DOM element that is injected in the viewer control UI, which should show information about the conversation. The viewer control will use this function to obtain a new conversation DOM element whenever:

a comment is added
a comment is removed
a comment is modified
a conversation is selected
a conversation is deselected
the PCCViewer.ViewerControl#refreshConversations method is called

If this function returns a falsy value, then the conversation will not be shown in the viewer control UI. If this function returns a value that is not a DOM element and not falsy, then the viewer control will throw an exception when attempting to create a conversation DOM element.

This function has three parameters, in this order:

conversation {PCCViewer.Conversation} - The Conversation in which to generate a DOM element.
state {Object} - An object that indicates the state of the conversation. This object has an isSelected boolean property.
existingDOM {HTMLElement | undefined} - The DOM Element returned from the last call to this factory for the given conversation. It is acceptable to return this same element from the factory function if the DOM does not need to be replaced (for example, if it only needs modification or does not require any modification). This parameter may have a value of undefined if the factory function has never been called for this conversation or the previous call did not return a DOM element.

See:

PCCViewer.ViewerControl#setSelectedConversation

Throws:

If the factoryFunction parameter is not a Function.

Type: Error

Returns:

The ViewerControl object on which this method was called.

Type: PCCViewer.ViewerControl

Example

var conversationFactoryFunction = function(conversation, state, existingDOM) {
    var conversationDiv = document.createElement('div'); // Create a conversation DOM element.

    // Set the style of the conversation DOM element.
    conversationDiv.style.position = 'absolute';
    if (state.isSelected) { // Set a different background if the conversation is selected.
        conversationDiv.style.backgroundColor = 'white';
    } else {

setViewMode(viewMode) → {PCCViewer.ViewerControl}

Sets the view mode.

When set to "Document" or "EqualFitPages", this property only has an effect on documents with different sized pages. Setting the view mode to "Document" maintains the relative size of each page when displaying a document. For example, if page 2 is smaller than page 1, it will appear smaller. Setting the view mode to "EqualFitPages" scales each page so that their width is the same. For example, if page 2 is smaller than page 1, it will be scaled larger so that its width is equal to the width of page 1.

Setting the view mode to "SinglePage" structures the viewer so that only a single page is shown at a time. Each page is scaled to fit within a view box, which is the initial size of the viewer and increases in size when zooming in (and decreases in size when zooming out). After the viewer initializes, the view mode may not be changed to or from SinglePage view mode (or an exception will occur).

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`viewMode`	PCCViewer.ViewMode	Display pages using this mode.

See:

PCCViewer.ViewMode

Throws:

If the viewMode value is unknown.

Type
Error
If the PCCViewer.EventType.ViewerReady event was not fired prior to using this method.

Type
Error
If setting the value to "SinglePage". This value must be set during initialization time. See PCCViewer.ViewerControl~ViewerControlOptions for mode details on the viewMode initialization parameter.

Type
Error

Returns:

The ViewerControl object on which this method was called.

Type: PCCViewer.ViewerControl

Example

viewerControl.setViewMode(PCCViewer.ViewMode.EqualFitPages);   // Scale each page so that their width is the same.
