PrizmDoc Viewer Overview

PrizmDoc Viewer allows you to add powerful document viewing and document conversion functionality to your web applications.

Document Viewing for the Browser

PrizmDoc Viewer includes an advanced HTML Viewer control which allows your users to view, search, annotate, redact, print, and download documents in many different file formats, right in their browser. They don't need to leave your application or install any custom software:

Seamless Integration

Our viewer is designed for seamless integration with your web application. Key features, like search and redaction, can be easily turned on or off depending on your application's needs (see the uiOptions Object). If you don't like the out-of-the-box UI layout or style, you can completely change it. And since the viewer has an extensive JavaScript API, your application can programmatically control and respond to the viewer.

Powerful Features

PrizmDoc Viewer offers powerful viewing features, including:

• The option to use Microsoft Office for high-fidelity rendering of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files (included automatically with PrizmDoc Cloud)
• Support for viewing and searching of large documents with thousands of pages
• The ability to review changes between two different Microsoft Word files
• The option to pre-convert document content in advance for even faster viewing on the web

Overall Architecture

Viewing functionality is powered by 1) the HTML Viewer control and 2) powerful REST APIs and server-side software.

The easiest way to get started is with PrizmDoc Cloud, where we fully host and manage the server-side pieces of PrizmDoc Viewer for you:

Document Conversion

You can use PrizmDoc Viewer's Content Conversion Service REST API to easily:

• Convert from Office, PDF, Email, HTML, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, CAD, and many other kinds of documents to PDF, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, or SVG
• Use OCR to convert a non-searchable PDF or TIFF into a new, visually-identical PDF that supports full-text search
• Split and merge pages from multiple documents
• Apply headers, footers, or watermarks to a document

As with viewing, the conversion REST APIs offer the option to use Microsoft Office for high-fidelity conversion of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files (included automatically with PrizmDoc Cloud).
