Customize Excel Document View Settings to Match Rendering in PrizmDoc Cloud
Excel document rendering settings in PrizmDoc Cloud are configured to closely match the default Microsoft Excel pagination and print layout for the best fidelity with Microsoft Excel.
While PrizmDoc Self-Hosted supports different view modes for rendering of Excel documents, it is important to know that the default rendering behavior of the PrizmDoc Self-Hosted product is different from PrizmDoc Cloud due to the following out of the box product behavior:
- PrizmDoc Self-Hosted renders hidden content
- PrizmDoc Self-Hosted ignores Print Area and renders the content outside of that area
- PrizmDoc Self-Hosted ignores document margin settings
- PrizmDoc Self-Hosted ignores document page dimension settings, and applies custom pagination logic
- PrizmDoc Self-Hosted forces rendering of gridlines
NOTE: the default rendering behavior of PrizmDoc Self-Hosted is expected to be changed in a future release to accurately match rendering in PrizmDoc Cloud.
To configure PrizmDoc Self-Hosted Excel document view settings to match rendering in PrizmDoc Cloud, edit the central configuration file.
NOTES:
- The file paths for the Central Configuration file are:
- Linux: /usr/share/prizm/prizm-services-config.yml
- Windows: C:\Prizm\prizm-services-config.yml
- The default installation directory is: C:\Prizm.
Specifically modify the following parameters:
Example
fileTypes.excel.renderHiddenContent: false
fileTypes.excel.renderOnlyPrintArea: true
fileTypes.excel.margins.mode: preserve
fileTypes.excel.pagination.dimensions.mode: preserve
fileTypes.excel.renderGridlines: false
