Prizm annotation supports:

• Reading embedded PDF and TIFF annotations
• Annotations for images on a local hard drive or network drive
• Web-based annotations (supported by a Prizm Annotation Server) 

Annotation-Enabling Your Web Application

When annotation-enabling a web application using Prizm® Viewer, there are several items that need to be addressed: 

• Preferences for loading annotations from a web server
• Preferences for support of Embedded PDF or TIFF files
• Preferences for showing and/or editing annotations
• Mappings for the annotation server(s)
• Prizm Annotation Server availability 

Setting Annotation Preferences

Annotation options are provided as a means to customize how you view, display, save and modify your annotations as described below:

General

4. Check the Web Server option under Load annotations from the following sources.

Example Locations

These are examples only and not links to actual locations:

• Example of where images are located: http://www.myserver.com/images/
• Example of where the annotation server is located: http://www.myserver.com/PrizmAnnotServer/PrizmAnnotServer.aspx
• Example of host web site URL: http://www.myserver.com
• Example of annotation server path: /PrizmAnnotServer/PrizmAnnotServer.aspx 

Prizm Annotation Server Availability

Before Prizm can load and save annotations for web-based images, you must provide an annotation server that Prizm will use to load annotations from, and save annotations to. The Prizm Viewer Administrator Tools include two working sample versions of Prizm Annotation Server; one using ASP.NET technology, the other using Java Server Pages (JSP) technology.  

Scripting Support

Scripting support is only supported using the ActiveX interface (i.e. Internet Explorer). Scripting support for Firefox browsers is not available. Refer to the Prizm Viewer Admin Help for detailed instructions on both Annotation Server Availability and Scripting Support functionality.
