PrizmDoc is a powerful, scalable platform for converting, viewing, searching, annotating and, redacting documents in hundreds of formats in a zero footprint Viewer. At its core, the basic concept of PrizmDoc is fairly straightforward: your web application passes a document to an http service which converts it into SVG and returns it to the browser. So long as the browser supports SVG (which all modern browsers now do), the document is viewable without needing to install any software on the browsing device. This model works well across PCs, tablets, and even smart phones; every device can view all standard document types without installing any extra software.

This section provides an overview of the core components of PrizmDoc as shown in the diagram below:
