Welcome to PrizmDoc Viewer - let's get started!

This topic walks you through the steps you need to get PrizmDoc Viewer installed, configured, and running. You will also be able to integrate a basic viewer into your web app.

It's important to understand the basic structure of PrizmDoc Viewer when it's embedded in your web app. PrizmDoc Viewer contains 3 essential pieces:

1. PrizmDoc Server - PrizmDoc Self-Hosted or PrizmDoc Cloud - the back-end conversion engine
2. PrizmDoc Application Services (PAS) - the connection point between the Viewer and the Server
3. Viewer - the HTML viewer component

Example:

Key for diagram above:

• Gray = Your browser, website, and data
• Teal = PrizmDoc Viewer components

Step 1 - Get an Evaluation License

PrizmDoc Cloud

Select this option if you want to host your back-end server with Accusoft:

• Get an Evaluation API Key

PrizmDoc Viewer Self-Hosted

Select this option if you want to host your back-end server on premise:

• Get an Evaluation License

Step 2 - Set up a Back-end 

PrizmDoc Cloud

• Since you are choosing to host the back-end with Accusoft, you can skip this step and go to Step 3 below.

PrizmDoc Viewer Self-Hosted

In this step, you will install PrizmDoc Server to set up the back-end:   

• Install PrizmDoc Server (use the Server Installer) 
• Check the Back-end Server Health

Step 3 - Install Viewer Assets & PAS

This step covers installing the Viewer Assets and PAS. After you complete the installation, you need to verify that the Viewer is connected to the back-end.   

PrizmDoc Cloud

• Install Viewer Assets & PAS
• Check the PAS Connection to PrizmDoc Cloud

PrizmDoc Viewer Self-Hosted

• Install Viewer Assets & PAS
• Check the PAS Connection to your Back-end Server
