Combine documents for multi-document viewing
Want to deliver a PDF, four TIFFs and a JPEG with a single mouse-click? Our image list files let you package any combination of files and selected pages to be viewed or printed by your users as one “virtual document.” Include property damage photos with insurance claims, home photos with mortgage applications, or assembly diagrams with parts lists…any combination your users need. List files are described using an XML-based schema provided with the Prizm Admin Tools, so that you can programmatically group files and present them to your users on the Web. Batch print collections of documents without having to view each document. This is the most widely-used feature of Prizm ActiveX Viewer.

Advanced navigation tools
Use your mouse, keyboard, menus and controls to quickly move between images.

• Thumbnail navigation – Use your mousewheel, or click on the thumbnail to jump to a page.
• The table of contents window can be used to quickly navigate through image list files and PDFs (PDF edition).
• Search for text anywhere in a searchable PDF file and click to view that page (PDF edition).

Advanced viewing tools

• Flying magnifier lets you zoom a particular area of the image.
• Reference window provides a “birds eye view” and can be dragged to position the image.

Enhanced image display

• Anti-aliasing automatically improves bitonal image display.
• Color smoothing evens out the “blockiness” that often occurs with highly-magnified or over-compressed color images.
• Image display options include:
• Unicode support for thumbnail descriptors.
• Set initial view display.
• Set initial display rotation.
• Mirror horizontal and/or vertical.
• Preserve lines when scaling.
• Invert colors.
• Color smoothing.
• Patented enhanced JPEG decoding.
• Brightness and contrast Adjustments.
• Maintain scaling, position and orientation when paging.

Printing options

• Apply print options to bitonal, color, PDF, and CAD images independently.
• Include or omit annotations in print.
• Specify up to 3 lines of header and footer text to be printed. Macro support allows auto-insertion of print date, time, and other variables.
• Specify poster printing options for large format images including shrink instructions, overlap settings, minimum size for poster printing, order of pages.
• Permit auto-orient when different orientation saves paper on printed images.

Customize installation files
Prizm ActiveX Viewer lets you customize the user interface and build a new installer that enables the features your users need. Turn off or reorganize your users’ toolbars, docking windows and menus, set default viewing options, control supported file types, and even supply your own help file in place of ours. The Prizm ActiveX Viewer Administrator Tools include a comprehensive configuration application that helps you easily define every custom feature so that you can deploy with your own default settings. Change colors, navigation tools, MIME types, initial viewing settings, and deploy a customized version of Prizm ActiveX Viewer.

customize the web viewing experience
You can deploy Prizm ActiveX Viewer for distributing documents to your users right on your Web site. While your document management system decides who has access to which documents, you can control the entire end-user environment via HTML tags…from toolbars and menus to docking windows, to annotation privileges. Allow CAB download and installation when users visit your site. Prizm ActiveX Viewer can be licensed just for viewing images on your URL.

Combined image distribution using "Image List Files"
Want to deliver a PDF, four TIFFs and a JPEG with a single mouse-click? Our image list files let you package any combination of files and selected pages to be viewed or printed by your users as one “virtual document.” Include property damage photos with insurance claims, home photos with mortgage applications, or assembly diagrams with parts lists…any combination your users need. List files are described using an XML-based schema provided with the Prizm Admin Tools, so that you can programmatically group files and present them to your users on the Web. This is the most widely-used feature of Prizm ActiveX Viewer.

Integrated Scripting API
If your users use Internet Explorer, you have even more potential to create a completely controlled document distribution and viewing solution. Virutally all of the power of Prizm XV is exposed as methods, properties, and events of a Prizm ActiveX object. You can embed the PrizmControl object on any Web page, and control nearly every aspect of images viewed within it. There’s an example on the Prizm ActiveX Viewer sample page…limited only by your imagination.
