PrizmDoc Viewer v13.13 Release - Updated December 9, 2020
API Reference / PAS REST API / Viewer Support / Markup Burners
Markup Burners

Introduction

The PAS markup burners REST API is used by our viewer to allow the user to download the document they are viewing as a PDF with all annotations applied.

This REST API is designed for our viewer. If your application needs to perform its own markup burning, we recommend you use PrizmDoc Server’s markup burners REST API instead. It allows your application to produce PDFs with annotations “burned in” without the need for a viewing session.

Available URLs

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

POST /ViewingSession/u{viewingSessionId}/MarkupBurner

Routes key: CreateMarkupBurner

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 /ViewingSession/u{viewingSessionId}/MarkupBurner/{processId}] URL below to know when the process has completed.
