PrizmDoc Viewer v13.7 - Updated
Namespace: fn
API Reference > Viewer API > Namespace: fn

Namespace: fn

jQuery. fn

The jQuery Plugin namespace.

Methods

pccViewer(optionsopt) → {PCCViewer.Viewer}

Creates and embeds a new viewer in the first element of the set of matched elements.

Each call to this method will create and return a unique ViewerControl object. This will call PCCViewer.Viewer#destroy on any existing viewer embedded in the selected element.

If plugin options are provided, then a new viewer is created in the selected element and a PCCViewer.Viewer object is returned. This will call PCCViewer.Viewer#destroy on any viewer that already existed in the selected element.

If plugin options are not provided, then a viewer is not created. Instead, the PCCViewer.Viewer object associated with an existing viewer is returned.

Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
options external:jQuery.fn~Options <optional>

Plugin options.

Returns:
Type
PCCViewer.Viewer
Example
//Note: these are already included in the PrizmDoc Samples
var pluginOptions = {
    documentID: viewingSessionId,       // documentID is a required property
    language: languageItems             // language is a required property
};

$(document).ready(function () {
    // Creates a new viewer in the div with id="viewer1"
    var viewer = $("#viewer1").pccViewer(pluginOptions);

    // Can also access the returned object through the plugin.
    var viewerA = $("#viewer1").pccViewer();  // Does not create a new viewer.
    viewerA === viewer;                       // true
});

Type:

LanguageOptions

This object is the contents of the language.json file present in all of the HTML5 viewer samples. This file is generally read server-side and passed into the jQuery plugin. It is strongly encouraged to keep a copy of the original file before doing any edits or translations. This object is required by the viewer UI.

For more information on this language file or localization, please consult the help section titled "Localizing the Viewer".

Type:
  • Object

Options

The options object used for the HTML5 viewer jQuery Plugin, external:jQuery.fn#pccViewer. This object is a superset of the main ViewerControl options, PCCViewer.ViewerControl~ViewerControlOptions. All available options for the ViewerControl are also valid here, and will be passed as-is to the ViewerControl during initialization. The following will only include options specific to the jQuery plugin and the Viewer UI functionality inside the viewer.js file.

Type:
  • Object
Properties:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
documentID string

The ID of the document to load. This option is a part of the PCCViewer.ViewerControl~ViewerControlOptions options object.

documentDisplayName string <optional>
"file"

A meaningful name for the document. This name will be used when downloading a signed or redacted document. See PCCViewer.ViewerControl#burnMarkup for more information.

Example: "sample.doc"

imageHandlerUrl string <optional>
"../pcc.ashx"

The end point of the web tier services that support the viewer. Unless specified, viewer.js will assume it is running in the default .NET sample. This option is a part of the PCCViewer.ViewerControl~ViewerControlOptions options object.

language external:jQuery.fn~LanguageOptions

Specifies the language to use for the text in the ViewerControl. Use this option to localize the viewer.

icons string

Specifies the SVG for the icons in the viewer. If an SVG symbol element in this SVG has an id that matches a class name in the viewer HTML templates, then the SVG for that symbol will be added to the viewer element with the matching class name. Note that the id must begin with "pcc-icon-".

redactionReasons external:jQuery.fn~redactionReasons <optional>

A list of reasons to be used for the redaction reasons controls.

annotationsMode string <optional>
"LegacyAnnotations"

The annotationsMode specifies the mode in which the annotations will be handled in the viewer. When the annotationsMode is set to "LegacyAnnotations" (default), all annotations will be handled as in the releases prior to 10.3. The second option is "LayeredAnnotations". This option supports the new layered annotations feature available in the releases 10.3 and higher. A convenience enumeration for these two annotation mode types annotationsModeEnum is available in the viewer.js file and as a property of the Viewer object. This enumeration is not available in the API.

Deprecation Notice: In the future, the "LegacyAnnotations" option will be deprecated.

annotationID string <optional>

Specifies the annotation file to be used within the viewer.

This property is only observed when annotationsMode is set to "LegacyAnnotations".

autoLoadAnnotation boolean <optional>
false

If set to true, the specified annotation file will be loaded when the viewer launches.

This property is only observed when annotationsMode is set to "LegacyAnnotations".

autoLoadAllLayers boolean <optional>
false

When set to true, all available layers will be loaded into the document. This includes all layers returned by requestMarkupLayerNames and getSavedMarkupNames.

This property is only observed when annotationsMode is set to "LayeredAnnotations".

editableMarkupLayerSource string <optional>

When set to "LayerRecordId", the layer with the record ID specified by the editableMarkupLayerValue will be loaded from JSON into the document. When set to "XmlName", the layer with the name specified by the editableMarkupLayerValue viewer parameter will be loaded from XML into the document, unless the XML layer with that name has been saved to JSON, in which case the layer will be loaded from JSON. When set to "DefaultName", a new empty layer is loaded into the document but given the name specified by the editableMarkupLayerValue viewer parameter.

This property is only observed when annotationsMode is set to "LayeredAnnotations" and editableMarkupLayerValue is set to a valid value.

editableMarkupLayerValue string <optional>

When the editableMarkupLayerSource viewer parameter is set to "LayerRecordId", this specifies the record ID of the layer that will be loaded from JSON into the document. When the editableMarkupLayerSource viewer parameter is set to "XmlName", this specifies the name of the XML layer that will be loaded from XML into the document, unless the XML layer with that name has been saved to JSON, in which case the layer will be loaded from JSON. When the editableMarkupLayerSource viewer parameter is set to "DefaultName", this specifies name to give the new empty layer.

This property is only observed when annotationsMode is set to "LayeredAnnotations" and editableMarkupLayerSource is set to a valid value.

lockEditableMarkupLayer boolean <optional>
false

When set to true, the buttons that open the load annotations (for edit) dialog will be removed so that it is not possible to change the editable markup layer. The menu item that opens the edit layer name dialog will also be removed so it is not possible to rename the editable markup layer.

template Object

This objects holds the various templates that the viewer UI needs. The templates correspond to HTML files available in all samples -- the filenames use the same name as the template names here, appending "Template.html" to the end -- for example, the template fileName would correcpond to a fileNameTemplate.html file.

uiElements Object <optional>

This object contains directives to easily hide or disable default UI elements in the viewer. This option is an alternative to removing the elements entirely from the viewerTemplate.html file, and enables having features that are conditionally available.

When the viewer removes various elements, it looks for a data-pcc-removable-id to be defined on the HTML element. This id will match to the key defined in the uiElements object. Setting the value of that key to true, or not including the key at all, results in the respective elements being visible and active in the viewer. Setting the key to false will cause the viewer to remove that element at runtime.

This feature is enabled for viewerTemplate.html and contextMenuTemplate.html. The following data-pcc-removable-id keys are already defined by default:
